Alberto's wife Amparo purchased the items necessary for the ceremony - a piece of newspaper containing herbs, miniature dollar bills, tinsel and a polystyrene square with houses, crops, families, and all other eventualities.
Coca leaves were added to the parcel which was carefully lifted over to a fire that had been lit on the land and tipped into the ashes.
All of the Uluchi family, grandma, mum, dad, son and daughter poured small amounts of pure alcohol into the ashes as an offering, as did Ed.
I then knelt in prayer to Pachama asking for her blessing on our project.
