Script:

We all know that a celebration offers and provides the opportunity to revitalize and preserve
cultural practices, and often serve as a time when people have fun and celebrate with their
friends and family.

In the department of Cajamarca, the carnival is the most important time of the year, since it
has an extensive program of presentations, allegories, dances and music throughout the city.
During this carnival these main events are carried out as:

Election of the Carnival Queen

Contest of Coplas

Thursday of Compadres

Festival of the unshas or 'dressed tree', etc.

In that festivity, the Cajamarcans, in general, the villagers dress in striking costumes and bright
colors, also eat lamb or pork with potatoes parboiled; Variable tubers and vegetables and
homemade bread.

Peanuts and candy are also consumed, among other products. All accompanied by traditional
drinks such as chicha de jora, cane and rum.

One of the most electric parties in Peru, the Cajamarca Carnival is a celebration full of music,
food and water games! Both children and adults participate in traditional festivities, becoming
the most celebrated festival in the region.

Well, after saying this, I'd better celebrate there, bye.
