This article seeks to contribute to the debate on Andean ontologies, through the analysis and ethnographic exploration of ritual practices in the Puna of Jujuy (Argentina), trying to understand the way in which its inhabitants relate to their environment, which they usually refer to with the term pacha. To this end, the study proposes the identification and characterization of certain significant othernesses —antigales, apachetas, unkuñeros— with which the people of Puna interact through their domestic and community rituals. In order to illustrate the type of links that are established in this region between humans and non-human others, observations and stories obtained during a field experience with families from the aboriginal community of Queta, in the Cochinoca Department, are recovered. These Andean conceptions of time-space, of the world and its existents, will be intertwined with the theoretical conceptualizations of relational praxis of K. De Munter and the multinaturalist perspectivism of Viveiros de Castro, understanding that this dialogue can contribute to the vindication of otherness and other thought as drivers for the ontological opening of anthropology, allowing us to overcome epistemic boundaries through a critical and radical review of the principles and axioms of Western naturalism, profoundly questioning modern concepts about the nature of being and reality. El presente artículo busca aportar al debate de las ontologías andinas, mediante el análisis y la exploración etnográfica de prácticas rituales en la Puna de Jujuy (Argentina), procurando comprender el modo en que sus habitantes se relacionan con su entorno, al cual suelen referirse con el término pacha. Para ello, el estudio propone la identificación y caracterización de algunas alteridades significantes —antigales, apachetas, unkuñeros— con las cuales los puneños interactúan a través de sus ceremonias domésticas y comunitarias. Para poder ilustrar el tipo de vínculos que en esta región se establecen entre humanos y otredades no-humanas, se recuperan observaciones y relatos obtenidos durante una experiencia de campo con familias de la comunidad aborigen de Queta, en el Departamento Cochinoca. Las concepciones andinas de tiempo-espacio, del mundo y sus existentes serán entrecruzadas con las conceptualizaciones teóricas de praxis relacional de K. De Munter y el perspectivismo multinaturalista de Viveiros de Castro, entendiendo que este diálogo puede aportar a la reivindicación de la alteridad y del pensamiento otro, como motores para la apertura ontológica de la antropología. Este ejercicio permitirá rebasar fronteras epistémicas mediante la revisión crítica y radical de principios y axiomas propios del naturalismo occidental, interpelando profundamente concepciones de la Modernidad sobre la naturaleza del ser y de la realidad.
