Christmas in Cuzco A time of wonder and delight all over the World. Discover how Christmas Eve is spent in Cuzco where the 500 year traditional Santuranticuy or ‘sale of the saints' brings people together at the Plaza de Armas for a magical Christmas market.

He and the other characters from the Christmas story are carved, hand-painted and sold in nativity sets by local people for local people and every household in Cuzco has one in pride of place.
