we were so lucky!.. that very night, there was a feast, even not the proper day, to offer the Pacha mama, the mother earth...and we were so kindly invited to assist!
the feast began with some words and announcing that the offrends of the previous year,would be unburied and new ones were there to renew the cycle... a hole was made at the right place
we began offrending coca leaves, wine, cigarettes to Pacha mama, throwing them to the hole , and also trying them.... invoking and adding some words, asking mother earth to be benevolent and care about us... ( it would become so real for us some days later!)
young and old, all people celebrated with much passion. faith and warmness... simple wishes from the bottom of their hearts and ours...
the festivity ended buring all, and asking for the good being of all, with the words of the cacique don Julio Cruz ( the community boss).
