The ccapo is linked to the life of the high Andean populations of South America, in this projection graphing the cultural diversity that this herbaceous acquires, where its use and identity is exposed in the heat that it gives to the parishioners in the icy night of the altipampa , and as a denuda in element of the patron feast, It is necessary to point out that a social plot is needed, interact and build. Unlike other times, the protagonists: dancers, band of Ccaperos, entrance of ccapo, the mass, entrance of candles, the treat; They act in a modernity. The organization is more important; the representation and the knowledge to be shown; relegating the historical heritage of the fervor that involved the religious holiday. Then, precisely, this study is framed in investigating otherness, which was not sought and not seen: the pre-Hispanic and colonial origin of this tradition, which allows knowledge based on the stamps of the entrance of Ccapo, the construction of a cultural history of Arequipa, and on the other hand the otherness defined in a vision of the field as an epistemological concept understood as “the rebellion of objects” that take on identity and are recurrent to human action as a natural consequence. The method is defined by a qualitative and historical view, from the ethnographic record, the participant observation and in-depth interviews, within the anthropological view and the collection of sources made in the Archive of Cayma, Municipal, Regional and Archbishop of Arequipa. Which provides vital information to reconstruct and value the history of Arequipa.
