All Andean ancient cultures have the jaguar as linked with divinity and powerful.
In short, everything is related to the jaguar. Take a look at the habits of the jaguar : hunt during the day but also during the night. Dominates both worlds, the world of darkness and the world of day, it does take attributes of unity between the two worlds. It is alleged that the Andean cosmovision have three levels of the known world: One is Hananpacha, the world above; Ukuypacha the world below, or underworld, and Kaypacha, which is the world where human beings. The jaguar is in the middle with humans in Kaypacha and links the world of living beings with Hanan and Ukuypacha because it is the only animal that can be seen in the daytime and at night. He is then the symbolic link of the spaces within the Andean culture.
