Return to the Sacred Ice
Nicholas Shakespeare follows a group of pilgrims from the village of Chincheros as they make their way to a shrine at 16,000 feet to participate in this extraordinary festival. Supposedly the celebration of a 17th century apparition of Christ to a llama-herder, it is in reality an ancient pagan rite from which human sacrifice has not entirely disappeared.
