The Q'ero - Descendants of the Incan High Priests Part 2
Masked in costume, surviving the night on the glacial edge earns the Ukuku the right to break a piece of ice from the mountain’s edge and return to base camp carrying this frozen holy water back to their communities. They pay homage to the Spirit of the Mountain of Sinkara and ask for protection and prosperity through the year. Catholic influences are also interwoven into indigenous rites.
