A miner gets into the truck that carries the llamas he bought for the offering of the mine where he works. Potosi, Bolivia. January 27 in 2016. The hearts of the llamas are carried into the mine as an offering to the devil in return for abundant, wealth and protection during their working hours. 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.
