Living in Peru : your everyday companion

Starting August 16^th, Toro Match, an event that has been going on for the past fifteen years, will open its doors for the next five Sundays. From the video and pictures below you will see that it is a family affair where both adults and kids can have fun riding horses, participate in archery, ride in a hot air balloon, watch a Peruvian Paso horse show, observe cock fighting and if you aren’t too tired, you can even dance with the younger generation at night, and of course, you can eat well at very reasonable prices (You can find anything from hamburgers to high quality Argentinean or American-style grilled food.). But the real fun begins at 4pm with Toro Fútbol. It is a game that was invented for various teams which come to Mamacona to play the game. It involves a small bull (around 300 kilos) that must follow you or members of your team through the opposite team’s goal. After this very funny event, they present Toro Match, where different teams try to become bull fighters and choose to face the bull in different ways. Even though the bull is small, it takes guts to be in the ring, which you will also see from these pictures. For more information about this event, check out our Events Calendar
