Parinacota is a Chilean hamlet in Putre, Parinacota Province, Arica and Parinacota Region.

Location

It is situated on the highlands at an elevation of {{convert|4400|m}} in Lauca National Park near the small town of Putre and had 29 inhabitants as of 2002.[1]

Church

The church was built in the 17th century in the form of a central nave with two side chapels. The walls are made of stone and clay and are supported by exterior arches of unmortared stone. The floor is brick with a central band of stone. Originally there was no choir. A choir without railing was built later-on whereas one of the most interesting frescoes of the area, the Last Judgment was destroyed.{{clarify |reason=is construction of the choir related to the destruction of the fresco? |date=July 2012}} The atrium is surrounded by a clay wall on which are situated several figures made of red stone: A bishop, lilies, phalli and others. The square tower was rebuilt in 1789 and painted with white lime.

Noteworthy are the frescoes in the interior which were painted in water colors by Indians in the Andean baroque of the 17th century. The Last Judgment{{clarify |reason=previous paragraph says Last Judgement was destroyed |date=July 2012}} suggests that only women were condemned. The archangel St. Michael weighs a nude woman on a scale and there are trails to get to the purgatory, over clouds to heaven as well as stairs to the mouth of a dragon which leads to hell, where there are several torture instruments. The condemned women walk or are dragged by the hair or are ridden by demons. One of them leads the helpers of evil with a broad smile, not knowing what awaits her.
