The First Andean Ceremonial Race in Unity for Water (Primera Carrera Ceremonial Andina en Unión por el Agua) was held in August 2011. It brought together more than fifty representatives of different native, Afro-descendant, peasant, and urban South Americans. This was the starting point for the foundation of the Willka Yaku Ancestral Council for the preservation of the millenary memory of the Colombian Andean Massif, the mountains and mother lakes of the Latin American territory.
