Pachamama Mask

Pachamama Museum in Amaicha del Valle (Tucumán).

The entire area of Amaicha del Valle is devoted to the celebration of Pachamama. Every year in February, along with Carnival, the National Pachamama Festival is celebrated. Offerings are made and the eldest lady in the community is honored. The festivities last for five days and are open to visitors from all around.
August is the month devoted to the worship of mother Earth and the traditional offering to Pachamama by the descendants of the aborigines is carried out on the first day of the month.
The museum contains maps and paintings that show clearly which period corresponds to which culture. This is a private entity and it was organized by plastic artist Héctor Cruz.
