Dancing Devils in Puno: The Masks and Costumes. Among the richest and most fascinating traditions in
Peru is the Festival of the Virgin of the Candelaria in February (known as Candlemas in some English-
speaking countries). In Puno, a Peruvian city across Lake Titicaca from Bolivia, the Festival of the Virgin
of the Candelaria seamlessly combines indigenous and European traditions into an incredible explosion
of culture. It’s also where you can find the “Dancing Devils in Puno” —traditional dancers wearing the
most intricate, bedazzled masks and costumes you could ever imagine. https://www.fertur-
