Cairn with 3 crosses in front of Santo Tomás church, Isluga village, Isluga National Park , Region I , Chile
Santo Tomás (St Thomas) church in Isluga village dates from the 17th / 18th centuries. The stepped cairn in front of the entrance is a form the the Chakana or Andean Cross, an ancient symbol used by the indigenous people of the Andes to represent their vision of the universe. Note the fruits / vegetables on the central cross, people in the Andes often make offerings to Pachamama / Mother Earth during the year. These are left from Carnival, which coincides with the harvest season so crop offerings giving thanks for the harvest are common. In the background is the Cabaray / Cabarray / Cabaraya volcano (5869m / 19,255ft) just over the border in Bolivia.
