The event is one of the most significant manifestations of Andean religion, in which much importance is given to the indigenous cult to the mountains and the spirits that dwell within them: Wamani.

Four hours of pilgrimage brings us to the Qoyllur Riti sanctuary up on the Sinakhara plain at an altitude of 4600 meters. Many people take a wash in the icy waters that run down from the snowy peaks above. The water purifies the people and is necessary to enter into a new dimension where the divine energies flow between nature and man.

The route is full of processions made up of dance groups and music bands, there are fireworks and also small artisan markets. The festival unites the Andean and Catholic religions and as such the people worship an image of Christ on a magical rock at 4750 meters and the Apu Ausangate cult at the same time.
