Qoyllurit’i

Every year, before Corpus Christi, in Cusco a pilgrimage is made to the Lord of Qoyllurit’i. This religious celebration brings together thousands of devotees from all parts of the world, who gather at Mount Sinakara to venerate the Tayta of the Snows, an image of Christ which adorns a rock.

Eight nations participate in this event and people come from villages throughout the region and country, in one of the most important expressions of devotion, faith and tradition in the Andes.
