The Plomo Mummy (also known as Boy of El Plomo, El Plomo Mummy, or La Momia del Cerro El Plomo in Spanish) is the well preserved remains of an Incan child found on Cerro El Plomo near Santiago, Chile in 1954.^[1][2] It was discovered by Guillermo Chacón Carrasco, Jaime Ríos Abarca, and Luis Gerardo Ríos Barrueto.^[3] The mummy was brought to the attention of Grete Mostny at the Chilean National Museum of Natural History; she later proved instrumental in the museum's acquisition of the specimen.^[4] The Plomo Mummy was the first notable frozen mummy discovery of high-altitude human sacrifice by the Incas,^[5][6] a practice called qhapaq hucha.

The mummy is curated by the National Museum of Natural History in Santiago, Chile, where a replica of the mummy is on public display. In 2003, histological examinations of the remains revealed the presence of a primitive species of the Trichinella parasite.
