Before the exhibition came to Beijing, since September 2019, it had toured five other provincial-level museums in Shanxi, Tianjin, Chongqing, Hunan and Guangdong. "People along the Andes faced many difficulties brought about by geological conditions, but that varied landscape is also the base that nurtured such cultural diversity," says Luis Quesada, Peruvian ambassador to China. "The experiences left by the native people living on the land of today's Peru has helped us to realize the importance of communication and exchange among different civilizations."
