The Christmas Eve or Noche Buena
The Spanish introduced people to Christianity
sometime around the 1500s. Unlike in other parts
of the world Christmas is celebrated with pomp
and pageantry on the 24th of December, known as
Noche Buena or the Good Night. Evening is the
time when the celebrations start with the ritual
Mass at the local church.

Cake with a fruit center known as the Paneton is
the specialty of Christmas. Children then enjoy
bursting of fireworks. This done, the adults
start celebrations with dances that last till the
early hours of Christmas.

Nativity at Cusco Peru Tours
While western homes emphasize Christmas trees and
their decoration you will find that Peruvians
place importance on the Nativity scene. Known as
pesebre, this recreation of the scene of the
birth of the Christ is done in painstaking detail
with the use of local pottery, stone and grass
manger.

Food at Peru
For most people Christmas means roast turkey with
tamales, salads and sauces. Some might opt for
chicken instead while some even have a roast
suckling pig. The traditional cake is Paneton, a
bread with raisins and candied fruit. The paneton
is usually accompanied with hot chocolate
flavored with cinnamon and cloves.

Christmas in the Andes
Christians in Cusco in the Andes celebrate
Christmas, endowing it with Incan flavor of
dances and plays. A special market known as the
Santurantikuy (buying of saints) springs up and
farm people gather to sell plants and mosses used
in nativity scenes.
