Hand-to-hand combat, South American style!


Tinku is one of the oldest celebrations in South America. The word tinku comes from the Quechua language and means encounter or meeting. This "encounter" was a form of ritual combat between aylluses, or communities. Its purpose? The blood of the fighters was considered an offering for Pachamama, the Mother Earth, to ensure female fertility and abundant crops.
