Pre-Colonial Cosmovision of the Andean Region

MSUB’s Office of International Studies is hosting its 5th annual Global Studies Seminar: Themed Semester this fall and will be hosting weekly events for FREE from September through November to showcase South America's northern and western Andean Region, also known as the Andean Community, featuring Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, & Venezuela. See the full schedule of events at

Join us for a captivating talk about the Andean Region's Pre-Colonial period. This lecture will kick off the Global Studies Seminar: Andean Community Themed Semester. The pre-colonial Andean cosmovision emphasized harmony between humans, nature, and the spiritual world. Central concepts included Pachamama (Earth), Inti (Sun god), and Ayni (reciprocity). Time was cyclical, with the world divided into three realms. Duality, sacred geography, and community-focused values like Sumaq Kawsay shaped their worldview and practices.

This event is ideal for anyone interested in understanding the ethos of Andean region.
