MAPUCHE TRIBE
Mapuche spirituality is based on the belief that everything in the universe is interconnected and that humans have a responsibility to maintain balance and harmony in the world. They believe in a variety of spiritual entities, including ngenechen (supreme beings), wekufe (evil spirits), and kalku (sorcerers). Mapuche spiritual practices involve a variety of ceremonies and rituals, many of which are focused on maintaining a connection with the natural world. One of the most important ceremonies is the Nguillatun, which is held to honor the Mapuche spirits and seek their guidance and protection. The Mapuche believe in the spiritual power of certain places in the natural world, including mountains, rivers, and forests. These places are often seen as sacred and are used for spiritual ceremonies and rituals.

YAMPARA TRIBE
Instead of being taught by adults, dance and music are learnt from a young age by watching performances and participating in activities. For major holidays like Pullay and Avarichi, a sizable network of the community gathers together to provide a feast of food and drink for everyone. The ladies weave intricate garments just for these events. The Yampara are particularly well-known for their distinctive beverage, Chicha, which is available at neighborhood stores called Chicherias.
The Yampara are renowned for their ceremonial religion and dedication to the Pachamama, or Mother Earth. They hold that every natural object possesses a spirit, and that it is important to revere and respect these spirits. Yampara religious practices frequently involve offering food, drink, and coca leaves as offerings and sacrifices to the Pachamama.
