印加人的waka/huaca，也是他们对待自然的态度：

Like Andean indigenes today, the pre-Hispanic Inka knew well, named, and communicated with many natural topographic features. Mountains, rivers, lakes, boulders, outcrops, caves, and springs were (and still are) kratophanic. They were sacred places where humans encountered and interacted with powerful numina. Such places were regarded as waka or huaca, a word in Quechua (or Runa-simi), the language of the Inka and many other Andean peoples, that has no exact equivalent in other languages. It may be provisionally defined as a sacred thing, landscape feature, or shrine; it can be natural or artificial or a combination of the two.
