A sacrificed llama, next to the pit where its bones will be buried after the Offering Ceremony to the "Tio" (also known as Satan who governs the infra-world, in the interior of the mine). Potosi, Bolivia. January 27, 2016. These offerings are made by small groups of miners, asking for abundance and riches during the festivities of the Miners Carnaval. The miners in Bolivia are very reserved about sharing these ceremonies with outsiders, therefore I had to become a participant. The customs and beliefs of Andean people are a hybrid of catholic religion and old beliefs. One of its highest expressions is within the Bolivian mining culture that worships the Pacha Mama (Mother Earth), the Celestial Divinity personified in the Catholic God and "El Tio" of the mine (Satan). To the latter, who rules the underworld, they make offerings with sacrifices of llamas inside the mines to ask for protection in the depths of the mountain and abundant mineral.
