Location: Quico (Cusco).
Date: February 27-30.
This festival, which is linked to the Apostle Santiago (St. James), culminates in cattle-branding. This ceremony, celebrated only by families who own livestock, invite visitors to eat beef or llama meat and drink chicha.
The festival is hosted in the community of Quico, located at 4,800 meters above sea level. Access, via the Urcos-Quince Mil track (on muleback), is tough but worth the effort.
