Resumen:
Research carried out in the Carangas region of highland Bolivia has identified a surprising concentration of preHispanic religious sites, which are linked both to ancient Andean cults of wak’a (sacred mountains, tutelary hills and mummified ancestors) and to the Incan settlement of the region. Of these sites, one ceremonial centre stands out for its unprecedented characteristics for the Andes.
