For over 70 years, Christmas Eve in Cusco have gathered hundreds of people in the Plaza de Armas, the main square, to enjoy the season while shopping and admiring exquisite Christmas art in the Santuranticuy, “Saints Sale” in Quechua; Santuranticuy is a provisional village market with a fiesta ambience, featuring skilled artisans from many Andean communities that come to show and sale their handicrafts from early in the morning to just before midnight. This traditional village market could soon be declared a National Cultural Heritage in Peru.
