This study explores the symbolic value attributed by Indigenous inhabitants to their dwellings and how the physical structure of the home serves to align domestic activities with meanings related to their ancestral culture. To achieve this objective, we focused on the Peruvian Andes, specifically on Coporaque, an Indigenous village founded in the 16th century during colonial times. In this locality, qualitative research was carried out using the phenomenological approach, prioritizing the lived experience of the native inhabitants in their daily “life world” through in-depth interviews and direct observations. Our results broaden understanding of the Andean vernacular dwelling, making visible the ways in which the “Wasi” becomes a stage for the symbolic occurrence of domesticity. The results reveal several significant narratives on domesticity that support and give coherence to the life of these Indigenous communities, coinciding with the symbolic value that other cultures have attributed to dwellings. The study was able to conclude on the Indigenous house's function in sustaining regional identities and how its physical structure is embodied in the inhabitants until it becomes one of the last bastions of resistance against the homogenizing pressure that the globalized world tries to exert on native peoples.

This ethnographic study explores the rich tapestry of ritual and cultural prac­tices in Coporaque, a peasant community in the southern Andes of Peru, highlighting the deep integration of religiosity into everyday life. Coporaque, with roots dating back to pre-Incan times, reflects a unique synergy of pre-Columbian and Catholic influences that manifest through rituals and festivities ranging from the celebration of the Day of the Dead to the festivities of San Santiago and the Cocha fiesta. The study employs an ethnographic approach consisting of participant observation and semi-struc­tured interviews, facilitating an understanding of how faith and the veneration of natural elements, such as the Apus and cochas, contribute to community cohesion and cultural continuity. The findings highlight how the community strives to maintain its ancestral traditions while facing the challenges of modernity and emphasize the role of these practices in fostering a sense of community identity and cultural resilience.
