Chuquihuanca, dressed in a suit similar to the one worn by Manco Capac, when he left Belcoquina, according to historians, to found the Inca Empire, insisted that Pachamama was mortally wounded and that it was necessary to save balance and “our roots”.
During his speech, he insisted on the importance of Wiphala as a symbol of noble integration, and reaffirmed the need to live in harmony, respect and peace.
He asked for the consolidation of the building of the multinational state to return to the “ñandereco” (our way of being) and in this way the culture of unity and brotherhood flourishes and racism, individualism, exclusion and hatred die.
The author of Geapolitica del vivir bien asserted: “All of those whom we feed ourselves with the milk of Mother Earth (water) are brothers, people, plants and animals, similar and different, complementing each other.”
Chuquihuanca reaffirmed the Plurinational State’s commitment to the development of sustainable tourism in Isla del Sol, La Luna and all of Lake Titicaca.
He stressed that all these spaces rich in cultural and natural heritage will be promoted as tourist destinations that respect the integrity of Mother Earth, and must achieve integration between local communities and visitors.
