  • Highlands (puna) of Jujuy north-west area. Every year the salineros (salt mine workers) meet for the Salias Grandes Festival. The Pachamama’s ceremony during which people sang songs and prayed in a low and high volume. The curandero would then bless the donation in order to finally burn it.  After greeting one another, those present at the ceremony sat down on blankets and skins of leather and waited for the appropriate time in order to initiate the ceremony. When the charcoal lit up, the curandero spread sacred plants and incense on it. Pachamama (Mother Earth) is a goddess revered by the indigenous people of the Andes. In Inca mythology, a fertility goddess who presides over planting and harvesting. Salinas Grandes salt mines built into the flat, dry highlands of the Argentine northwest, where work 100-200 salineros (salt mine workers). Covering 212 square km are the third salt mines of the world, after Salar de Uyuni (Bolivia) and Salar de Arizaro (Salta).

In many villages in the Argentinian Altiplano Cultura Pirca has installed an 8-square-meter Scheffler reflector which are used as a public installation for baking bread saving precious firewood.       The heating equipment consists of  concentrating  reflectors that  move to track the movement of the sun. In rural areas institutions depending on oil, gas and electricity are trying to switch to renewable energies. <br />
Reasons for this change are the high costs of  conventional fuel and the unreliability of the electric grid. Photovoltaic is often too expensive and used for small applications.
