Hundreds of people gathered at the Inca Ray ruins in Cochabamba, Wednesday, to take part in the Wilancha; the sacrificing of a llama to celebrate the Andean New Year.
Inca spiritual leader Elsa Yujura Mamani said of the ceremony that the importance of the ritual lay in the energy it is supposed to create: "It is the reception of the sun, the birth that gives us energy, prosperity, health, work, business, to live."
