The Q’eros are celebrating more than Carnaval these days. They have reached a major milestone on the journey to preserve their culture. The community took ownership of the land on which they will build their Centre for Ancestral Culture. In 2019, we chose a special location for the Centre which overlooks the entire village of Qochamoqo and all the sacred mountain peaks. Legally, all of the land in Q'eros belongs to the Q'eros community.
