The city is like one big party during the 31 days of this month. Prepare yourself to discover a society that, in spite of the racism that still abounds, continues constructing the basis of its identity on these celebrations that keep <strong>Andean culture<\/strong> alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The capital city of <strong>Cusco<\/strong> and its 13 provinces (<strong>Acomayo<\/strong>, <strong>Anta<\/strong>, <strong>Calca<\/strong>, <strong>Canas<\/strong>, <strong>Canchis<\/strong>, <strong>Chumbivilcas<\/strong>,<strong> Espinar<\/strong>, <strong>La Convenci\u00f3n<\/strong>, <strong>Paruro<\/strong>, <strong>Paucartambo<\/strong>, <strong>Quispicanchis<\/strong> and <strong>Urubamba<\/strong>) keep many traditions that have been conserved in spite of the colonial reign of the Spanish who tried to make them disappear. One of the most beautiful manifestations of <strong>Andean culture<\/strong> are the colorful outfits generally worn for dancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-keeping-tradition-alive\">Keeping tradition alive<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep these customs alive among young people, the Municipality of<strong> Cusco<\/strong> organizes a huge traditional dance competition in which all of the city&#8217;s school participate. For three days, the youngest of the society demonstrate their talent and abilities in front of a crowd that fills the Plaza de Armas. The first day is for the kids in kindergarten, the second for elementary school, and the third for middle school. They all wear dreamy, traditional outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality of these outfits can vary a lot. In <strong>Cusco<\/strong>, there are many shops where you can rent the traditional outfits that fill the city in June. However, many of these are just cheap imitations of the real thing. Thankfully, little by little, Cusquenians are becoming more and more conscious of the meaning and beauty of these outfits. Besides that, the judges score the originality and beauty of the outfits to determine the winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-amazing-traditional-outfits\">Amazing traditional outfits<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2019 Festivals of <strong>Cusco<\/strong> stood out for the quality of the outfits presented in the competition, as well as the dances performed. Because of this, we want to show you some of the most striking outfits we found during the competition. Visit <strong>Cusco<\/strong>, and be surprised by its timeless culture.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image fancy-gallery\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a class=\"fancy-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Espinar-Pallapata-Pichigua-Cusco-fiestas-del-salkantay-trekking-2019.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Espinar-Pallapata-Pichigua-Cusco-fiestas-del-salkantay-trekking-2019-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Girl dancing on traditional outfit\" class=\"wp-image-1181\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A girl in middle school with an outfit from the province of Espinar (specifically from Pallapata and Pichigua).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image fancy-gallery\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a class=\"fancy-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Tupay-chiaraje-Cusco-fiestas-del-salkantay-trekking-2019.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Tupay-chiaraje-Cusco-fiestas-del-salkantay-trekking-2019-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Girl dancing on traditional outfit\" class=\"wp-image-1183\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A young lady dancing the Tupay Ch&#8217;iraje in an outfit from the province of Canas.
