San
Juan Festival
Location: Cusco, Loreto, San Martín, Ucayali
Date: June 24
In the jungle, Saint John the Baptist has taken on a
major symbolic significance because of the importance of
water as a vital element in the entire Amazon region.
This is why June 24 (St. John's the Baptist's day) is
the most important date on the festival calendar in the
entire Peruvian jungle.
The northeastern city of Iquitos hosts a variety of
festivals and public events: fiestas with typical local
bands where cooks dish up some of the regional cuisine,
featuring tacacho (baked banana) and juanes (rice
pastries), named after the patron saint, San Juan
Bautista. This carnival atmosphere, redolent with the
warmth of the local hospitality, has given rise to the
myth of a special sensuality to be found in Loreto.
It is widely held that the best aphrodisiacs are
concocted in Iquitos, potions blended from fruits and
herbs steeped in sugarcane alcohol, with strange and
suggestive names. The best-known is without a doubt the
chuchuhuasi, fermented from a local root. In the
highlands, the festival is also linked to the concept of
fertility, but here the main theme is livestock,
something that is easily associated with the image of
Saint John as the pastor of souls.
On this day, livestock are counted and branded, and
llamas are sometimes even the object of prayer. In Cusco,
where peasant farmers used to bring their richly
decorated sheep to Mass, the tradition has been shifted
to June 25, yielding to Inti Raymi. |
