We started our morning by heading to the Museum Chiribaya located just outside of the city of Ilo. At this museum we got to learn about some of the history and culture of this area. They had different types of pottery for us to see as well as the history of the mummification process in this area. We got to see some different types of artifacts the people in this area used in everyday life. Most of these artifacts were pre-Inca time.
We then headed back into the city of Ilo and visited a couple of beaches. We then went to lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch we browsed several different types of markets, including their local fish market. We ended our afternoon by heading back to the Plaza de Armas and enjoying some ice cream.
Our evening was spent with the Ilo – Sur club at their Rotary meeting. After our formal presentations, the Rotary Club surprised us to a presentation of local dancers. We were then treated to a buffet of local Peruvian food. It was an very relaxing and enjoyable evening.
