Abstract

This paper explores the itineraries in the Bolivian Highlands of Guido Bennatti and his fellow travelers around 1876, with particular focus on the observations and collections from Tiahuanaco and the Titicaca lake. Visible only regionally, the scale of these trips remains a pending task that must be rebuilt through a bureaucratic investigation records, brochures and regional daily press. This work forms a link in this project.

Keywords: Tiahuanaco, José C. Manó, Guido Bennatti, Eloy Perillán Buxó, travelling museums, medicine
