Detail of skulls with drink offerings at a party in honour of skulls, Ñatitas festival, La Paz, Bolivia
Ñatitas can often be deceased members of the family or loved ones. Keeping bones of family members in the house after their death is an ancient tradition in the Andes as is ancestor worship - the Incas used to keep mummies of deceased priests in their temples and parade them during important festivals.
