Abstract
Yo fui a la Isla del Sol para realizar un investigación sobre el significado sagrado de la madre tierra en la cultura Aymara. Yo encontré mucha gente que no querían trabajar con migo, pero al final me permitieron filmar el sacrificio ceremonial de una llama. Yo también consiguió algunos entrevistas sobre esta tema, entonces yo decidí enfocar mi estudio en el sacrificio de la llama. Yo quería saber porque sacrificaban una llama. Las respuestas de esta pregunta han salido muy interesantes, y los puede ver en mi video.
I went to the Isla del Sol for research on the sacred meaning of Mother Earth in Aymara culture. I found many people who wanted to work with me, and eventually I was allowed to film the ceremonial sacrifice of a llama. I also got some interviews on this topic, so I decided to focus my study in the sacrifice of the flame. I wanted to know why they sacrificed a llama. The answers to this question are interesting, as can be seen in my video.
