ICHAPEKENE PIESTA
Go there and contact
The festival of San Ignacio de Moxos, a Jesuit mission in the Beni, allows us to discover a little known facet of Bolivia.
Inscribed in 2012 as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO. It is a festival that reinterprets the founding moxeñomyth of the Jesuit victory of Ignatius of Loyola by combining it with indigenous beliefs. The festival begins in May with prayers, but reaches its climax towards the end of July. This is the occasion to attend the dance of the Macheteros, masked penitents, but above all to admire the bajones, these gigantic panpipes which replaced the organ at the time when baroque operas were played in San Ignacio.
