Second Day

______________________________________________________________________________

from 13:30 to 14:30 WORKSHOP Become a Bolivian CHEF!
Try the traditional Bolivian recipes for Cuñapes and Zonsos

Enrol for just 5 Euro to cover the cost of the ingredients
(Payment at the entrance)

Cuñapes
Typical food from the east of Bolivia and Brazil. The name probably originates from Guarani language cuna (women) and pé (breast) due to the evocative shape of these small balls.
Typically made with yuca* and fresh cow cheese. Yuca is a starchy root vegetable native to South America, a rich food source for the indigenous people of the arid area due to its important nutritional value.

Zonsos
Grilled mashed yucca with cheese, typical from eastern Bolivia (specifically from Santa Cruz), there are two different ways to prepare it - by baking or grilling. This second technique was used when there was no electricity and zonzo was wrapped around a stick and grilled outdoors.

from 11:00 to 17:00.STALL for LASC
You can purchase a variety of hand crafts from Latin America and most of all you can buy the delicious Bolivian Quinua pastries and Empanadas

Quinoa is a native food plant originally from the Andean region used as food by the Incas and previous cultures. Its consumption has recently increased in Europe and America too due to the raised awareness of its important nutritional value.

Empanada de queso, comes from Spanish verb “empanar”: to wrap in bread. The idea of wrapping a hearty filling in pastry probably is due to the Moors (the Arabs) who occupied Spain for hundreds of years. Due to the large number of Galician immigrants in Latin America the empanadas have also become popular in the region. Empanadas are fried or baked pastries which usually contain cheese and/or beef, potatoes etc.

from 13:00 to 13:30 and from 14:30 to 15:00 LET’S DANCE! free entrance
Andean dancers performing their traditional dances:

Tinkus
This dance is an Andean tradition, originally from the Bolivian region of Potosi.
It began as a form of ritualistic combat to honor the Pachamama (Mother Earth) and is still present in the major festivals and parades in Bolivia, where a battle between two groups is simulated.

Caporal
Caporal is a typical Bolivian dance, very popular in the national festivities. Originally the dance reflected the authoritative power of the caporales (foreman chosen by the Spanish settlers to supervise the work of the slaves).
