The goddess of the Incans, known as Pachamama, was regarded as an agricultural deity whose role was to protect the crops and fertility. It is still customary in the Andes, when drinking chica, to pour a small portion on the ground as an offering to Pachamama. In the Andes, people believe that they should live in harmony with nature and refrain from taking too much from it. When they are disrespected, it is believed that earthquakes will occur.
To ensure that they were looked upon favourably, the people of the Andes regularly made offerings to the goddess. These ceremonies are known as pago a la tierra, and they involve offerings of various traditional items such as corn beer and cocoa leaves. Shrines honouring the goddess are made from the trunks of trees or rocks.
Pachamama is depicted as an adult female with a peaceful demeanour bearing harvest of potato and cocoa leaves.
