Argentina's Belief's

Argentina’s Belief’s

Every August, many people in Argentina pay tribute to their earth goddess, Pachamama.

People make very good food such as tamales, stews, llamas, and lambs and so much more.

They bury these things in their backyard along with cigars, liquor, and coco leaves.

They believe if they do this good fortune will come to them and abundant harvest.

It is a very known tradition in Argentina to do that.

Wow, that was a very interesting article. I did not know that people cooked llamas and ate them. Also, about the cigars and liquor, those were very fascinating facts and so many more. I did not know about Argentina as much as i do now. Thank you for posting this amazing article.

Wow, what an article Edgar. Never knew that llamas were edible much less ate them for their goddess. I also did not know that they buried cigars and liquor in their backyards. Maybe I should start doing that to receive good luck and to have abundant A's this year. Thanks for the article.

I think thats pretty interesting that they Barry stuff believing that it would make it good luck for them. Also I can assure everyone that tamales are good. Informing me about Argentina makes me learn more because I never knew they also had a tradition.
