Wells were dry and people were suffering. The peasants decided to slay a bull in sacrifice to their god Pachakamag, hoping this would bring them back the priceless liquid. So here they were, on their procession dragging their resisting bull up the Pucará rock where the sacrifice would soon take place. But the bull, apparently guessing the fate awaiting it, resists and struggles; and after one ultimate ram with its mighty horns, drilled open a hole in the rock!..off which water miraculously spouted...a pure, abundant water source was born, which saved the village from oblivion and heightened the bull to the highest spot of ritual animals." Departure: All, except four of us, departed back home in the evening.
