One of the miners holds the llama heart while the rest of the offering is burned. Mina Porco, Potosi, Bolivia. 28 January 2016. Once the llama heart is placed into the fire, the mine becomes engulfed in smoke making it very difficult to breath, causing everyone to evacuate very quickly from the depths of the mountain, concluding the ceremony. 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.
