The incense used in the Apu honoring ceremony is made of many different ingredients and includes

• Lavender (also called alucema or alhucema,) with a strong floral aroma released during the burn;
• Anise, sweet and very aromatic;
• Quinoa, first domesticated by Andean peoples around 3,000 to 4,000 years ago and an important staple in their culture;
• Grageas, small round colored sugar sprinkles or jelly bean like candy pieces;
• Colorful confetti;
• Aromatic copal resin, used by the cultures of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica

Sprinkle Kapachi incense over the smoldering wood while offering prayers or petitions to the Apus. The words used at the time of the Kapachi ceremony to the Apus are words that one personally manifests from the bottom of his or her heart.
