Bar is open

As we were driving along the roads, we have seen a pole sticking out the houses with different colours wrapped around the tip. It signals that the bar is open and workers around the farm land can come by to buy the Chicha drink. In ancient times, Inca farmers work on the farm land really early like 4:00 am to 10:00 am so that it would not be too hot. By mid day, they would be very hungry and look for the pole to signal that chicha drinks are available. If the pole is not shown, that means the lady of the house was not ready to sell the drink.
