The Lord of Huanca is the image of the martyred Christ that causes great fervor and devotion among the Catholics of Cusco and Peru. Every year in the month of September the faithful go to Huanca, a place located about 50 km from the city of Cusco and that according to the devotees, is the place that God chose to live.
