The livestock fertility festival. This is celebrated in January or February, during the fertile summer rain season, when grass is abundant and llamas are born.
The cult takes place in the livestock corral and it is there also, that the Arco of life is raised.
Pachamama is the Earth Mother, celebrated as a universal fertility mother, who feeds all life on the planet.
Another festivity, which honors Pachamama for giving food and life, is the Pachallampe.
This ritual consists of a dance, which simulates the sowing of seed potatoes.
This festivity takes place twice a year: in May, for the harvest, and in November, for seeding. Every Pachallampe has a captain and is guided by the community.
