Haywarikuy 2016 - Offering to Pachamama

Ceremony of Offering to the Pachamama 


Harwarikuy is of ancient origin as part of a system of reciprocity that the ancestors had with the spiritual world, whose purpose is to give back to Mother Earth, that has been given us, this ceremony is realized on the entire month of August.

The rituals of Harwarikuy are destined to the Apus (masculine aspect of nature) and to the Pachamama (feminine aspect of nature), the breaking of this reciprocity would break the harmony in the natural, social and religious systems.
