Abstract

The relationships between man and animals as part of human ecology (man-nature relationship) are especially important in a culture like Quechua with little technological knowledge. On the detailed mastery of their customs and habits, depend, in many cases, the attitudes that man must adopt to manage nature and his spiritual world; Thus, for example, the presence of a falcon near an individual who is grazing in the highlands, domain of the apus, will indicate on certain occasions that the God asks for an offering or that something is not going properly; other animals will tell you about the presence or absence of rain, the end of a season, or symbolize something in a dream.
