Brief History
The museum opened in 1992, just after the war ended, driven by former combatants who decided to preserve what remained of the conflict in the area instead of scattering it. Its centerpiece is the equipment from Radio Venceremos, which broadcasted from the mountains and became one of the symbols of the conflict. Over the years, the museum has become the starting point of the Route of Peace and the first memory tourism project in the country.
