"Juanita" The Beautiful Girl of Ampato Arequipa-Peru
“Juanita”, the beautiful young girl of the Ampato, was discovered on the 8th of September 1995 by anthropologist Dr. Johan Reinhard, after more than 15 years of research on the “Santuarios de Altura del Sur Andino” project, conducted jointly with Dr. Antonio Chavez, under the academic support of the Catholic University of Santa Maria de Arequipa-Perù.
The Ampato Volcano, with an approximate height of about 6,380 masl, sheltered this beautiful Inca girl in its bosom for about 500 years or more. She must have been some 12 to 14 years old at the moment of her death. She was offered to Apu Ampato by the Inca priests of those days. Her discovery resulted from the eruption of the Sabancaya Volcano. Today she is shown to the modern world so science and knowledge can profit from her age-old wisdom, for our well-being.
For the many rituals that took place, the girl had to travel to Cusco accompanied by a great court of very important people of the region, being awaited and welcomed in Cusco by the Inca in person who transmitted his divinity. From that moment she accepted the reality of her death and her own communication with the mountain gods; in this case the -Apu Ampato- where she would be offered in a journey without return, towards divinity.
After great festivities and rituals, Juanita had to be put to sleep before a precise blow on her right eyebrow would cause her to die. Research that is being done determines that she was subjected to a fast so the effects of the sedative were faster.
