The "entrada de la virgen de Guadalupe" lasts for three days in Sucre. Groups dance and play in the parade for 4 or 5 hours in the city in order to celebrate the Virgin said to have performed miracles long ago. The reality is different; this tradition arrived with the Spanish, who used their religion to overthrow the indigenous culture.
This year, on the first day, Ñanta presented the dance of the Arete Guasu - music and culture of the Guarani people of Bolivia.
