Don Juan talks about Don Benito

Andean Master and professor of anthropology Don Juan Nuñez Del Prado, talks to me about his teacher Don Benito Q'oriwaman. Don Benito was from the village of Wassau (about 20km from Cusco). He was an Altomishayok - the highest level of Andean priest, healer and protector of his village. Juan, who was initially an atheist, became a student of Don Benito in 1979, until his death in 1987. The legacy of Don Benito is evident throughout the Andean world, many Paqo's who follow this tradition would have heard of him through the teachings of Juan and his son Ivan Nuñez Del Prado.
