Takanakuy is a festival of struggle that is held on December 25 every year. A festival where women, children, men resolve misunderstandings by calling each other names, then hitting each other with fists.

These traditional fights are held in the regions throughout the Bolivian Andes and Peru. During this festival, some women dress nicely, men wear some specific boots, a mask, accompanied by music.

After that, everyone gathers and celebrates the New Year together, so they enter without hatred and envy. 🌍
