In Andean cultures, the importance of the harvest is celebrated during Thanksgiving with rituals that honor Pachamama (“Mother Earth”) and agrarian blessings. Festivals like Inti Raymi include offerings of coca leaves and traditional foods, symbolizing gratitude for bountiful crops. The celebration involves community gatherings, where stories and songs are shared, reinforcing social ties. This ritual emphasizes the deep connection between the people and the land, celebrating both the agricultural cycle and the cultural identity rooted in Andean traditions.
