We shared a big tuft of cotton candy before the ceremony
People must bring what they're asking for to the "k'oa", and the festival is best known for providing "wawas" (babies)
Vendors sell what people might wish for, so there are representations of houses, babies and cars for sale
Preparing for our "k'oa", the ceremonial offering for the "pachamama" (Mother Earth)
This was our k'oa for the pachamama— anytime we drank, we poured some of our drink over the k'oa
The family we were with asked for a house
