Coylloritty is a quechua word which means Snowstar or Shining Snow. The people of this zone are also a stream of Taytacha Coylloritty (The sir of the Replacement Snow). This a old religious procession only practised by the inhabitants of the big Andes. Every year, days before the celebration of Corpus Christi, every small village or clan send a delegation with colourful dancers and "pauluchas" to the Capilla del Senor Qoylloriti. This is situated of the beginning of the mountain Sinakara in the village of Mawayany, at 4600 meters above sea level.
Los pauluchas represented alpacas and are intermediaries between the Sir Coylloritty and his men. Therefore they climb at 4 o'clock in the morning the gletzjer Sinikara while they ask for a grow of their groups of animals. During the party the people who participated in the procession praise our Senora de Fatima to have good luck in business, life and future. The end of the procession takes place at the ancient Inca capital of Cusco with the processions of Corpus Christi, streets filled with people and squares with music and color.
