Apacheta
Gustavo Galarraga
Abstract
“Apacheta”—stone over
stone—are ancient stone mounds commonly found
across South America, often located at crossroads or
at the beginning of trails. There, travelers would place
a stone and leave an offering as a gesture seeking
good omens for their journey, while also encountering
the offerings left by those who had passed before
them.
For the 2025–2026 period, our team finds itself in a
moment of transition, walking a path shaped by past
editorials that continue to inspire our work and by the
authors who, through their contributions, have
allowed PHR Review to sustain its editions for more
than six years.
