Questions about Mesoamerica

Can you tell me some interesting facts about Juanita the Ice Maiden?

Dr. dig responds:

Juanita, the Ice Maiden, was found on the summit of the Ampato volcano, 20,700 feet above sea level. Her head was adorned with a cap made from the feathers of a red macaw and she wore a colorful woolen shawl fastened with a silver clasp.
