"TAYTACHA QOYLLURIT'I"—which in Quechua means Lord of the Snows—is what can be heard in the high hills surrounding the Sinakara Valley, at 4,800 meters above sea level in the province of Quispicanchis, south of Cusco. Thousands of devotees from various regions of the country, especially Cusco, walk for hours toward the heights of the Sinakara temple. Meanwhile, large groups of traditional dancers (Asunto de Nacimientos) ascend the snow-capped peaks carrying heavy crosses. Their faith is the only source of strength they possess to withstand the freezing temperatures. Throughout the night, these faithful make their way, displaying their flags and festive masks. They demonstrate their devotion to the Lord of Quyllurit'i, who is associated with the mountain spirits (apus) of the snow-capped peaks. The local people pray throughout the frigid night, hoping for a miracle. At sunrise, groups of people from different nations descend from the snow-capped peaks, celebrating their respective offerings to their sacred mountains (apus), and with them, the jubilation of the people, represented by the cross. Considered an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity since 2011, the Qoyllur Rit'i festival, created in ancient times, is a tradition where religious devotion and the Andean apus are united by the bonds of belief and the power of Mother Earth. This is done with the sacred objective of giving life to the miracles experienced by the thousands of faithful who come on this great pilgrimage.
