Catholicism is the dominant religion in Peru, but it can't compete with the diversity of the religious traditions and practices of native peoples in the Andes and rainforest. There are hundreds of different cultures present, each with their own unique spiritual beliefs. If you want to take a neat cultural journey not too far from Lima, check out the week-long Fiesta de Agua in San Pedro de Castas, a small town three hours away by bus from the capital. It takes place each year in October, and consists of celebrations and ceremonies that the Quechua-speaking people of the town carry out as they clean their water canals and honor their gods. If anything, the mountain views alone will be a religious experience.
