Ramayah Solar Disc: The Mystical Union Between Licancabur and Quimal
According to Likanantay tradition, at the winter solstice, the shadow of the Licancabur volcano covers Mount Quimal, symbolizing a mystical union between the mountains. Licancabur is regarded as a guardian warrior prince, and Quimal as a maiden, representing a cosmic ritual of fertility. Ancient Inca priests are said to have lit bonfires on the summit to communicate with other high-altitude sanctuaries.
