Legend tells that Fuerabamba suffered a drought when the Spanish conquerors captured the Wuamani and imprisoned him in the hacienda Pamparqui. Ever since then, the Fuerabambinos lost their role as farmers and were turn...展开ed into abigeos, or cattle thieves. For generations they tried to attack the hacienda and free the imprisoned god, but they were always driven back, until Laulico, chief of the community, succeded in taking the hacienda. But as a result, a repressive force was loosed upon the people.
