Pastoral life is an integral part of the historical relationship between Aymara communities and the Andean highlands. Caring for animals requires knowledge of climate cycles, landscape characteristics, and locations with suitable grazing conditions.
Daily journeys allow them to recognize changes in the landscape and observe signs related to water, vegetation, and animal behavior. This knowledge is built through experience and passed down through generations.
This way of life expresses a close relationship between community, animals, and landscape. Preserving its memory allows us to understand that the land is not only the setting for community life, but also a fundamental part of it.
