This festival is held every year in the city of Puno, which is located in southeastern Peru at an altitude of 3820 meters above sea level.
Considered as the Folkloric Capital of Peru and America, Puno is famous for its varied and impressive cultural manifestation, whose maximum expression is the feast of the Virgin of Candelaria, also called "Mamacha Candelaria", because she is the patron saint of the city, associated with the cult of the earth or "Pachamama" that symbolizes purity and fertility.
Two months before the main day, all the devotees get ready to live this profound experience of faith; the Sanctuary of the Virgin, streets and squares are filled with locals and strangers to contemplate the beauty of their dances and customs.
