Mahuayani - Pilgrimage

Cusco - Mahuayani - Qoyllor Riti

We depart by bus to the small village of Mahuayani, located 292 km from Cusco. On our journey, we will pass through small towns, enjoy beautiful landscapes, and view the extraordinary mountains of the Vilcanota range, including the impressive Ausangate (6378 m).

In Mahuayani, we prepare to start our pilgrimage with a prominent ascent, joined by over 500 pilgrims. They stop at each cross along the route to pray, light candles, or simply rest and catch their breath before continuing the hike.

As we approach the church, we will start to see many vendors and eventually reach our campsite at the base of Mount Sinakara (4600 m). We will then enjoy the atmosphere of the sanctuary, where many groups of dancers and pilgrims gather to set up.

Day 2
Santuario Del Señor De Qoyllur Riti
Lord of Qoyllor Riti Sanctuary

Qoyllor Riti

Early in the morning, we go to the church to attend the daily mass, which lasts approximately one hour. Afterward, we return to our campsite for breakfast and then head to the market known as the Feria de Alacitas (miniature crafts market), where all visitors participate. Here, you can buy or sell properties, vehicles, images of the Lord, crosses, candles, money, and even get married, divorced, or start a business, with all the necessary paperwork and authorities present for these transactions. Pilgrims buy and sell items, and then bring their acquisitions to the presence of the "Taytacha Qoyllor Riti" in Pukllanapata.

In the afternoon, the groups go to the church to present their greetings to Taytacha Qoyllor Riti. Following this, everyone dances until late into the night. In the early morning, the groups prepare to climb to visit the snow at 4900 meters to collect a piece of snow and bring it back to their village for better production and ample water for the year.

Around 10:00 AM, we will attend the mass and be present for the blessing of Taytacha Qoyllor Riti, as well as to bid farewell to the pilgrimage groups.

Each group returns to their community, and a specific group departs carrying the cross from Tayankani, performing a 24-hour procession. We will bid farewell to the groups and then descend to the village of Mahuayani, where our vehicle will be waiting to take us to the community of Tayankani, where we will spend the night at our campsite.
