Compadres and Comadres<\/strong>
Compadres and comadres are celebrated the two Thursdays before the central day of the carnival. This part of the celebration is characterized by its uniqueness when making the dolls of compadres and comadres satirizing some character in the neighborhood. Is it the little witch of the store, an annoying neighbor or the authorities? The objective is to highlight some quality of the character and send messages to society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recycling elements such as cardboard boxes, plastics, bottles, clothes and shoes in disuse must be used to make a funny looking doll. After its elaboration these are usually installed at midnight on Wednesday in posts or other high areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Octava<\/strong>
On Sunday March 1st, beautiful ladies in beautiful costumes accompanied by the men will show up at the Plaza de Armas to show off their dances. In some areas of Cusco, \u201cYunzas\u201d or \u201cCortamontes\u201d are carried out, which consists of artificially planting a tree adorned with various gifts, around which they dance. With the help of a machete, they try to lay down the tree to be able to collect the gifts. The Octava is the last part of the Carnival in Cusco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


But for now let\u2019s prepare a funny doll of an annoying neighbor or someone with bad behavior\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
