Among these traditions, Huayno is a distinctive dance performed by a man and a woman, characterised by agile stomping of the feet.

Handcrafted of ceramic and painted by hand, the intricate figures of the dancers perform around baby Jesus, accompanied by a band of woodwind and string instrumentalists.
