Submarine Museum in Callao

The Abtao Submarine Museum

Museo de Sitio Naval Submarino Abtao

Address
Av. Jorge Chavez 120A
District
  • Callao
City (Peru)
Lima
Phone Number

The submarine Abtao served 48 years in the Peruvian Navy. In 1998 Abtao was decommissioned and became the first floating museum in Latin America. Being inside a submarine is for us landlubbers always exciting, but visiting the Abtao is much more than that. A special sound and vibration system combined with a "real" command post and other gadgets turn us spectators into participants and let us experience life on a submarine.

During the visit you even take part in an attack. A great place for kids and adults to become a submariner, at least for one day.
