Festivities in June

SAN JUAN FESTIVAL

The most important festival in the Amazon. It symbolizes the renewal of faith in San Juan Bautista and the power of water, a vital element in the entire Amazon (Loreto, Ucayali, Madre de Dios, Tingo María and San Martín). For this reason, on the night of the 23rd, men and women go to the waters of the rivers or lakes to purify. On this date, music and typical dance festivals, agro-industrial and artisan fairs are also organized and dishes from the region are prepared, such as the famous juanes made with rice, eggs, olives, and chicken prey, all wrapped in Bijao plant.
