The stadium of the National University of the Altiplano and the streets of the city of Puno are scenes of joy, color and great display of energy by thousands of musicians and dancers in honor of the Blessed Virgin of Candelaria.
The first day of the light costume dance competition takes place on the sports stage of the first higher education house with a large attendance of national and foreign audiences.
More than 100 sets, 97 of them in competition, delight the public in the stadium and on the streets. The diablada and morenada dances brought the largest number of musicians and dancers, occupying the first places so far.
On Monday and Tuesday, dancers and musicians will delight the public, national and foreign, with the traditional parade in veneration of the Virgin of Candelaria, patron saint of Puno.
