An Aymara indigenous witch doctor sprays wine over offerings to "Pachamama" (Mother Earth) in La Cumbre, about 30 km (19 miles) on the outskirts of La Paz, August 1, 2012. According to Andean culture, the month of August is a time to give offerings to "Pachamama" to give thanks for their farms and health. The Aymaras use coca leaves, candies, animal fat, llama fetuses, some dried fruits, powdered minerals and alcohol during these rituals. REUTERS/David Mercado (BOLIVIA - Tags: RELIGION SOCIETY)
