Who they are

The Quechua of Arequipa inhabit valleys and slopes in the southern Peruvian Andes, preserving ancestral agricultural practices and their community cultural heritage. Although many maintain frequent contact with the region’s urban centers, village life still revolves around the land and family solidarity. Local religiosity blends Catholic traditions with Andean customs, and there are few evangelical Christian communities among them.
