Andean Religion

Andean religion refers to the spiritual beliefs and practices of indigenous peoples in the Andes Mountains, including cultures like the Incas. It centers on nature worship, with reverence for mountains (apus), the sun (Inti), and other natural elements seen as divine. Rituals often include offerings, ceremonies, and festivals aimed at maintaining harmony between humans and nature. Ancestor veneration also plays a key role, emphasizing continuity and respect for past generations. These beliefs are deeply intertwined with daily life, agriculture, and community well-being, reflecting a holistic worldview that sees nature, spirits, and humans as interconnected.
