Abstract

In this article we analyze the available literature on the role of sacred mountains, climate change and anthropology. We present some ethnographic exercises on this process of global scope with reference to Peru and other parts of the world. From this context, we offer an ethnographic approach to the relationship among sacred mountains, climate change and ritual systems linked to the apus in the Apurimac region, with the aim of approaching the local experience of climate change. The ethnographic data were collected during field work conducted in 2019 in the district of Anccohuayllo, province of Chincheros, Apurimac.
