Peru

Perayaan besar Peru adalah milik Andes — pesta matahari Inka yang dipentaskan kembali di Saqsaywaman, perjalanan ziarah di bawah gletser, arak-arakan para kudus di Cusco, dan berpekan-pekan tarian di tepi Danau Titicaca, tempat hari raya Katolik dan kepercayaan Andes sudah lama terjalin.

Perayaan Peru dalam atlas ini semuanya berasal dari Andes bagian selatan, di sekitar Cusco dan Puno. Banyak di antaranya memadukan ibadah Katolik dengan kepercayaan Andes yang lebih tua: Virgen de la Candelaria dirayakan dengan lambang-lambang pandangan dunia Andes, dan ziarah Qoyllur Rit’i menyatukan kesalehan Katolik dengan pemujaan dewa-dewa alam pra-Hispanik.

Dua di antaranya tercatat pada Daftar Representatif Warisan Budaya Takbenda Manusia UNESCO: ziarah Qoyllur Rit’i pada 2011 dan perayaan Virgen de la Candelaria di Puno pada 2014.

Festividad de la Virgen de la Candelaria

Each February, Puno on the shore of Lake Titicaca honours its patron saint with Peru’s largest festival of music and dance — about a hundred thousand dancers and ten thousand musicians, most of them Quechua and Aymara, and weeks of masses, processions and contests.

Qoyllur Rit'i

Quyllurit'i

In a high valley below the glaciers of the Cusco region, tens of thousands of pilgrims gather each year for the Lord of Qoyllur Rit'i — a feast that joins Catholic devotion to older Andean beliefs about nature and the stars, with a hundred dances and a day-and-night procession to greet the sunrise.

Corpus Christi in Cusco

Corpus Christi del Cusco

On the feast of Corpus Christi, the parishes of Cusco carry fifteen images of saints and virgins into the Plaza de Armas, where they process with the cathedral’s gold and silver monstrance and then stay in the cathedral for a week — a Catholic feast shaped by centuries of Andean devotion and rivalry.

Inti Raymi

Every 24 June, Cusco stages the great sun festival of the Inca Empire — a procession from the temple of Qorikancha through the Plaza de Armas to the stone terraces of Saqsaywaman, with hundreds of performers, revived in 1944 from the accounts of a sixteenth-century chronicler.
