More about the symbol
“La Chakana” is a richly complex ancient Andean symbol which describes the multilayered worldview of the Andean people, their beliefs, and their values of life and the universe. This symbol was and is still used across Andean cultures; most is known from its uses in Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Colombia. This VR experience is a personal interpretation of "La Chakana" which is comprised of the four cardinal directions, North, South, East, and West, and the four elements, Water, Fire, Air, and Earth, aligned to sacred animals, Snake, Condor, Puma, and Hummingbird.
