Peruvian traditions are as diverse as its landscape, blending Incan and colonial influences. Inti Raymi, the Festival of the Sun, is a spectacular reenactment of Incan ceremonies in Cusco. The Virgen del Carmen festival in Paucartambo features masked dancers and vibrant costumes. Peruvian weaving techniques, especially in the Andes, preserve ancient patterns and stories. The Marinera dance competition in Trujillo showcases this elegant courtship dance. Pisco Sour Day celebrates the national cocktail. The Q’eswachaka bridge-building festival maintains the ancient Incan tradition of rope bridge construction. Ayahuasca ceremonies in the Amazon preserve traditional shamanic practices.
