Now we have to celebrate \u201cTodos los Santos\u201d, although this is the denomination we use to remember the Day of the Living and the Day of the Dead. November 1 is actually All Saints Day or Day of the Living, and November 2 is Day of the Dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The customs that we have on these two days, not only serve us to remember, in the best way, the loved ones who have already left this earth, but also to be able to share with our family and visitors all these <strong>traditions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents anchor-links\"><ul><li><a href=\"#h-music-and-colors-in-the-cemeteries\" data-level=\"2\">Music and Colors in the Cemeteries<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-delicious-sweet-bread\" data-level=\"2\">Delicious Sweet Bread<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-desserts\" data-level=\"2\">Desserts<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-the-crispy-piglet-or-lechon\" data-level=\"2\">The Crispy Piglet or \u201cLechon\u201d<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-fairs-throughout-the-city\" data-level=\"2\">Fairs Throughout the City<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-christening-of-the-wawa\" data-level=\"2\">Christening of the &#8220;Wawa&#8221;<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-music-and-colors-in-the-cemeteries\">Music and Colors in the Cemeteries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, especially during the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/celebrations-you-shouldnt-miss-during-the-rest-of-the-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Day of the Dead<\/a><\/strong>, cemeteries are filled with people, colors, and music, as people bring food, drink, and even musical groups to the graves of their loved ones. This whole tradition is carried out with the aim to pay tribute to and remember in the best way possible, the person who has died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This custom can be seen in the cemeteries of the districts and provinces of Cusco. The closest to the city are: Jardines de la Luz in the district of Poroy and La Almudena and Huancaro, both in the district of Santiago.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/music-colors-in-cemeteries.jpg\" alt=\"Music, food and colors in the cementeries\" class=\"wp-image-2595\" style=\"width:920px;height:613px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-delicious-sweet-bread\">Delicious Sweet Bread<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During this\nseason a bread is eaten that is commonly known as \u201cT\u00b4anta Wawa\u201d, a Quechua word\nthat means \u201cbaby bread\u201d. This is a tradition that has been around for many\nyears in Cusco. This bread is made from flour, has a sweet taste, and is\nspongy, but also has the shape of a baby wrapped in a blanket. It is so well\ncrafted that sometimes it\u2019s a shame to eat it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The forms of this bread vary, for that reason, you can choose whether to eat a \u201cT\u00b4anta Wawa\u201d or a horse-shaped bread. For any of the options you choose, I recommend that you accompany this bread with a cup of hot chocolate. It will be one of the best experiences your palate has had the delight of having.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/delicious-sweet-breads-tanta-wawa-horse-bread.jpg\" alt=\"Sweet bread and tanta wawa\" class=\"wp-image-2596\" style=\"width:920px;height:613px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-desserts\">Desserts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The sweets are the best option this season and you will have many desserts to choose from because, in the main markets of the city and the squares, a variety of sweets are put on sale: Empanadas, meringues, \u201croscas\u201d, \u201cmaicillos\u201d, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/desserts-day-of-living-and-death-1.jpg\" alt=\"Sweet desserts\" class=\"wp-image-2598\" style=\"width:920px;height:613px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by: Municipalidad del Cusco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-crispy-piglet-or-lechon\">The Crispy Piglet or \u201cLechon\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main course over these two days is the Lechon, It\u2019s very tender piglet meat that is crispy on the outside and soft inside.

It is in these fairs that you can find the sweetbreads that I have mentioned. Many ladies dressed in mestizo clothes and sell succulent dishes, a variety of desserts, and there are many other activities that will bring you a little closer to the cultural side of <strong>Cusco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you\nare in the Sacred Valley or in some province of Cusco, if you go to the central\nsquare of the area you visit you will find these fairs. However, if you are in\nthe city, I can recommend you visit the Plazoleta de San Sebasti\u00e1n in the\ndistrict of the same name, San Pedro in the district of Cusco, and the\nVinocanchon Market in the district of San Jer\u00f3nimo.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMGS8359-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Fairs throughout in Cuzco\" class=\"wp-image-2601\" style=\"width:920px;height:614px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Photo by: Municipalidad del Cusco <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-christening-of-the-wawa\">Christening of the &#8220;Wawa&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You will love this activity. It also takes place in the city squares and consists of performing a symbolic baptism of a \u201cT\u00b4anta Wawa\u201d, a bread that is more than 14 meters long, with a beautiful babyface. It\u2019s the actors who put the charm into this activity because throughout the baptism they make jokes between themselves and with the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, the cast is made up of the priest, who is the funniest of the group, his assistant, the parents of the \u201cT\u00b4anta Wawa\u201d and the godfathers. Sometimes these characters are interpreted by tourists, and with public participation, this activity is very fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the places where you can enjoy this activity is in the Plazoleta de San Pedro in the district of <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/trekking-in-peru\/cusco\/salkantay-trek-4d\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cusco<\/a><\/strong>, where the baptism of the \u201cT\u00b4anta Wawa\u201d will be held, organized by the Municipality of Cusco for this 1<sup>st<\/sup> of November at 10:00 in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/christening-bread-wawa-baby.jpg\" alt=\"Christening of the  Tanta Wawa or baby bread\" class=\"wp-image-2600\" style=\"width:920px;height:613px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Photo by: Municipalidad del Cusco <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Take\nadvantage of these two days to be part of all these activities and take the\nopportunity to try all the culinary delights that you have this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cusco is a city very rich in traditions.
