Niche / posa in corner of courtyard of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios church, Lagunas village, Sajama National Park, Bolivia
Many of the churches in the region are inside a square walled courtyard with niches (called posas) for offerings in each corner. These are thought to represent the 4 cardinal points. This one still has a rustic stone block altar for offerings.
