“It has a custom… of good breeding these gentlemen (the Inkas) and all the others of all the earth and it is that if a gentleman or lady goes to another’s house to visit him… he has to take… if it is a lady a canteen of chicha and in arriving… she makes two glasses of her chicha and the one she gives to drink to the gentleman who visits and the other one drinks to the gentleman or lady who gi ves the chicha and they both drink and so does the innkeeper who
takes out two more glasses of chicha and gives the one to the one who has come to visit and drinks the other…”.
Juan de Betanzos, 1551
