	Viracocha Fills the Sky with Fire (Inca narrative)

Note: Story in which the Inca deity Viracocha stopped at Cacha on his journey from Titicaca to Cusco. He was in the guise of a preacher, the local people mistreated him, and he caused the skies to fill with fire. The site of Cacha is adjacent to a volcano, to which the myth undoubtedly refers.
