Cusco fills with satire, color, and mischief with the traditional Compadres Celebration, a date that strengthens the bond of Andean godparenthood with much humor and popular creativity.

The city vibrates with music, laughter, foam, and colorful paint in a festive atmosphere that marks the beginning of the Cusco Carnival, one of Peru’s most authentic and participatory celebrations.

The week following the Compadres celebration, women take center stage with the “Comadres Celebration.” This festive tradition honors the bonds of friendship and female godparenthood within the Andean world.

April 14: Procession of the Lord of Earthquakes (Holy Monday) Location: Cusco Cathedral – Plaza de Armas
This is one of the most important religious events of the year for the people of Cusco. The “Taytacha de los Temblores” (Lord of Earthquakes), sworn patron of Cusco, journeys through the city in an emotional procession that commemorates his invocation during the 1650 earthquake.
Thousands of devotees accompany the image as ñucchu flowers (a sacred Andean flower) are thrown, a symbol of ancestral offering. Bells toll solemnly, balconies are adorned with traditional textiles, and a deep feeling of hope and gratitude permeates the air.
During the week:
In traditional neighborhoods and the countryside, rituals of contemplation are held, where the Pachamama (Mother Earth) is also honored. It’s common to see family altars, traditional meals like the “seven dishes” (a feast of soups, stews, desserts, and artisan bread), and visits to Baroque churches with songs in Quechua.
Holy Week in Cusco is not just a religious manifestation: it’s a deeply Cusquenian spiritual experience, where cultural syncretism comes alive.

During the night vigil, the faithful light candles, sing religious hymns, and offer food and chicha in honor of the protective cross. Music bands, dances like the q’achampa or wayri ch’unchu, and communal sharing of typical dishes are also common.

Chiriuchu once again takes center stage on the tables of the Jeronimianos, and music bands play non-stop during the days of celebration. As is traditional in many Cusco festivities, the event closes with fireworks and light castles, amidst hugs, promises of faith, and the incessant sound of drums.

October 18: Festivity of the Lord of Miracles Location: Historic Center of Cusco
The Lord of Miracles, also called “Cristo Moreno” (Brown Christ), is one of Peru’s most venerated images. Although originating in Lima, its devotion has strongly reached Cusco, where October becomes a month of prayer, penance, and pilgrimage.
The procession travels through the main streets of the Historic Center: from San Pedro Church to the Plaza de Armas, enveloped in the aroma of incense and the chants of faithful dressed in purple, the traditional color of the month. Religious groups known as cuadrillas (squads) organize to carry the Christ, while fraternities prepare floral carpets along his path.
The altars, meticulously crafted by devotees on balconies and streets, demonstrate Cusco’s deep spiritual connection to this devotion, which represents hope in difficult times.
October 31: Day of Criolla Song Location: Cultural centers, restaurants, and public spaces in Cusco
Although it is a tradition originating from the coast, Cusco has embraced the Day of Criolla Song, especially in places that pay homage to Peruvian music and gastronomy.
Peñas (traditional music venues) and restaurants offer criolla evenings with guitar, cajón (percussion box), and voices performing valses, marineras, and polcas by classic authors like Chabuca Granda, Felipe Pinglo, or Óscar Avilés. The celebration also includes dances and typical coastal dishes, in an gathering that celebrates Peru’s musical and cultural diversity.
This day becomes a festive moment before the ancestral November celebrations, when the soul and memory take center stage in the Cusco calendar.

November 1: All Saints’ Day Location: Cusco homes and traditional markets
All Saints’ Day is a special date in Cusco, experienced with family devotion. Early in the day, families prepare tables with breads shaped like people (the traditional t’antawawas), horses, and ladders, symbolizing the soul and its journey to the afterlife.
These offerings, accompanied by fruits, tamales, chicha, and typical dishes like lechón con tamal (roast suckling pig with tamale) or cuy (guinea pig), are arranged to symbolically welcome the good souls visiting the earthly world on this day. Cusco homes fill with sweet aromas and the vibrant colors of hand-decorated breads purchased in markets like San Pedro or San Blas.
Children often dress up or visit relatives asking for small breads and sweets, in a practice that blends spirituality with play.
November 2: Day of the Dead Location: Cusco cemeteries (Almudena, Poroy, Santiago, among others)
On this day, families go to cemeteries with flowers, food, drinks, and music to share with their deceased loved ones. Instead of a somber atmosphere, the Day of the Dead in Cusco is a celebration of life, where people sing, converse with the departed, and renew their spiritual bond with them.
It’s common for Andean musicians to play huaynos, mulizas, and marineras in front of graves, at the request of family members, while chicha de jora is shared and traditional dishes are left as offerings.
Some communities also perform Andean rituals of gratitude, reaffirming beliefs about the ayllu (extended community) that includes ancestors.
November in Cusco is a deeply symbolic month where the boundary between the living and the dead blurs for a few days, allowing memory, music, and food to keep collective remembrance alive.
December 24: Santurantikuy Fair Location: Plaza de Armas, Cusco
The heart of Cusco beats strongly every December 24th during the Santurantikuy Fair, one of the oldest and most authentic expressions of Andean popular art. From dawn, dozens of artisans from across the region set up in the Plaza de Armas to offer figures of saints, nativity scenes, altarpieces, ceramics, carvings, and religious objects.
One of the most sought-after items is the “Niño Manuelito,” an Andean version of the Baby Jesus, dressed in typical attire and unique gestures that reflect the emotions of the Cusco people. This fair is not just a commercial space but a manifestation of faith, creativity, and cultural resilience, declared National Cultural Heritage.
Throughout the day, the atmosphere fills with the aromas of hot chocolate, artisan panetón, and traditional sweets, while carols in Quechua and Spanish resonate among the illuminated stalls.
December 25: Christmas in Cusco Location: Churches and homes in Cusco
Christmas is celebrated with deep family religiosity. Homes prepare their Andean nativity scenes, often featuring highland landscapes, native animals, and shepherds in traditional clothing. Midnight Mass gathers communities in the main churches, such as the Cathedral and the Company of Jesus.
Family sharing revolves around roasted suckling pig, panetón with chocolate, humita, and chicha morada. Collective prayers and Christmas carols are also performed, lasting until the Bajada de Reyes (Descent of the Kings) in January.
December 31: New Year in Cusco Location: Main streets of Cusco, Plaza de Armas
New Year’s Eve in Cusco is celebrated with joy, music, and renewal rituals full of Andean symbolism. Families burn rag dolls (año viejo) representing the bad aspects of the past year, while making vows for health, work, and abundance in the new cycle.
Many participate in rituals with coca leaves, incenses, colored candles, and “flowering baths,” seeking to balance energies and attract good vibes. It’s also customary to wear yellow underwear, walk laps around the Plaza with suitcases to attract travel, or toss coins to invoke prosperity.
In traditional neighborhoods, like San Blas or San Cristóbal, celebrations extend into the early morning with dances, music, and fireworks.
December in Cusco represents the fusion of Christian spirituality and ancestral customs, where art, faith, and rituals create a unique atmosphere to close the year.
