CHUNCHOS... I did not know such a beautiful name could exist, but it does, only here in Tarija and it is a very sacred and respected name. A chuncho is a male dancer dressed in vivid colors that dress up only once a year to dance from one cathedral to another in honor of the Catholic Saints. The festival lasts for a few days and is a very important ritual to many Tarija citizens. This year there where over 4 thousand Chunchos. The streets where packed with vendors and citizens all partaking in this annual event. It was a beautiful thing to experience and witness as an individual and I am very thankful for my friends Michelle and Emilia who helped me navigate my way through the streets of Tarija to see the Chunchos.
