EN_01247863_0023
The Takanakuy is a traditional celebration held every December 25 in the region of Chumbivilcas in the Andes of southern Peru. The celebration can last many days. The word "Takanakuy" means "to strike with the fist" and fighters are heating with dances and songs called Wayliyas. The men wear colorful masks and most are using animal heads who have hunted themselves to show their strength. Men and women who have had problems with other people during the year are fixing their conflicts at the end of the year with one or several fights. Usually, conflicts are raised by issues related to land or harvesting, stealing animals or insulting the name of the father. Some collisions are caused by love or friendship issues.
