Tarabuco: Home of the Pujllay

Tarabuco is a small Indian town, and best known as the home of the traditional "Yampara" culture. There is a very colourful Sunday Market, where, among others, beautiful handmade weavings and "charangos" (small stringed instruments with the shell of the back of an armadillo on the back) are for sale. Many people wear their traditional Yampara costumes, which not only preserve their identity but also advertise their location of origin to others within the Tarabuco area.

Each March it's people host the Pujllay festival, a great celebration with plenty of colourful traditional costumes and dance.
