Platforms Parade The Streets

Visit Casa Capuchinas!

Massive wooden platforms bear the statues of Jesus of Nazarethe and the Virgin Mary. The bearers walk in a ponderous synchronically as they proudly take the figure on its route. The floats are decorated with colorful flowers and richly textured fabrics; the regal statues are immaculately dressed and adorned. The bearers of the floats are called “cucuruchos” and are often the same ones that carry a particular float year after year.
