Qoyllur Rit'i Festival — Glaciares Ausangate

Origin & Significance

Qoyllur Rit'i (Star Snow in Quechua) is a pilgrimage celebrated near the Sinakara glacier every year before Corpus Christi.

Tens of thousands of pilgrims journey to 4,800 m above sea level to dance, pray, and honor the Apus (mountain spirits).

“

To witness Qoyllur Riti is to understand that the mountains are alive with story and prayer.

— Anthropologist, Maria Quispe
