About this episode
Today’s legend comes from Perú. Huatyacuri lived a lonely life in the Andes mountains. While his father, Pariacaca, the god of wind and storms, loved him, he could not physically hug him, as he only existed in the wind, rain and snow. Huatyacuri longed for ams to hold him. Then he met the beautiful Chaupiñaca and called upon his father to help him overcome the trials presented by her brother Kamachiq to be able to marry her. I hope you enjoy this simplified version of la leyenda de Huatyacuri.
This legend is told in the present tense. Repeated words and phrases include “viento” (wind), “hermoso/hermosa” (beautiful), “flauta” (flute), “promesa” (promise), “casarse” (marry), “ropa” (clothing), and “abraza” (hug).
