According to the Guardian, the Qoyllur Rit’i festival, also known as the Snow and Star festival, takes place every summer in the Sinakara valley at the foot of Ausangate in a mysterious and spiritual space.
This is an opportunity for local people to express their religious beliefs in glaciers, snow, and the stars in the sky.

According to the festival tradition, people gathered around the glacier area are said to be sacred when they have "energy and power" to heal.
At this time, the men in Ukukus costumes in the shape of half human and half bear cut ice blocks for the people to pray for faith, luck and health.

Snow and Star festivals are at risk as climate change has resulted in rising temperatures in recent years that melt most of the sacred glaciers
Therefore, festival rituals once performed on glaciers now have to make pilgrimages to higher snow-capped slopes.
In 1997, the Peruvian government studied glaciers and found that they were narrowed by more than 20% in 30 years due to climate change.
Meanwhile, the National Committee on Climate Change Peru forecasts all glaciers in Peru could disappear in the next 40 years.
