Traditional Rituals

The Andean-Christian syncretism manifests in different local ceremonies, especially at the patron saints' celebrations.
Each village has its saint, patron of the town. Along with this community protector, there are saints worshipped for their miracles. San Antonio, for example, is the llama herder's patron.
According to the local beliefs, the Virgin of Guadalupe appears in a creek that crosses the Aiquina village.
