Q'ero
'''Q'ero(spelled Q'iru''' in the official 3-vowel Quechua orthography) is a Quechua community or ethnic group in the province of Paucartambo, in the Cusco Region of Peru.
The Q'ero became more widely known due to the 1955 ethnological expedition of Dr. Oscar Nunez del Prado of the San Antonio Abad National University in Cusco, after which the myth of the Inkarri was published for the first time. Nunez del Prado first met the Q'ero on a festival in town of Paucartambo (about 120 km away).
Until now there were two great ages in the myth of the Q'ero that replace each other by big turning points in history (Pachakutiy) while a new age is still approaching.
