Tres Cruces Sunrise Festival

A few hours before Sunrise, the starry sky of Paucartambo illuminates the Mirador Tres Cruces. Before the Start of this stunning performance, following the tradition since the Spanish era, the ceremony of paying the land is to respect nature and have close relationships with people. Andean priests worshiped the most important Andes gods, the Sun and Mother Earth, fertility goddesses, etc.

This Sunrise festival is considered a reaction to the Andean world, and people thank the gods for their gifts and good luck. In ancient traditions, offerings included coca leaves, corn, wheat, quinoa, kiwi, sweets, fruits, precious metals, and various natural objects. When an Andean priest performs an early morning ceremony, musicians play regional songs during the ceremony.
