September is Cosmovision of the Andean Civilization. Long before the rise of the Inca Empire, early Peruvians attuned themselves to the natural world around them. They discovered sustainable ways of living, guided by the gods of the upper realms and the abundance offered by Mother Earth. Join historian Oscar Oviedo Velasco as he journeys into the myths and cosmologies of ancient Andean culture, offering insights into how Indigenous Peruvians once interpreted the universe. Gain a new perspective on how Andean societies engaged with their world before the Spanish conquest altered their way of life.
