On a stone table (altar) the Wilancha is performed,
it is a sacrifice of blood, perfume, coca leaves, drops
of alcohol and prayers. It consists of a ritual meal
made with the sacrificed meat, along with traditional
dances.
Sometimes a Yatiri consults with the hill: in
loud voice, as if he was the condor who speaking, who
in this ceremony represents the hill.
In these rituals the community expects the hill's spirit
to give them the benefit of its productive waters and
to protect them. Pachamama is honored in each
activity or celebration and is offered coca leaves,
drops of alcohol or whatever suits the occasion.
