- Ancestral ceremony Wayusa Upina
The Wayusa Upina is an ancestral ritual to prepare for the workday in the chakra. It serves as a space for advice and the sharing of stories between the wise and the youth community members. The ceremony begins at 2:00 a.m. with a bonfire and the preparation of the wayusa. Then, they share chicha, followed by a demonstration of basket weaving, and the pachina ceremony. The ritual concludes with the serving of the ancestral dish Uchumanga. In this way, participants are prepared to begin the day with renewed energy. At Amupakin, we bring this tradition to life for those who wish to experience this unique cultural exchange.
