AN•TAWA CEREMONIES 3 • Day 6 – LAGUNA QORICOCHA – Part 1
The day after our visit to Raqch’i, we went to Laguna Qoricocha ~ the Sacred Lake of RA.
Here we formed two processions ~ one coming downwards and one going upwards. We met at the place where the ancient Inca Path ~ the Qhapaq Nan intersected the land. This is when our ceremony began.

- Since the water in the lake was lower than we had ever seen, this was the most mud that we had experienced there.
