![]() We hope that by next year 2023 there will be optimal conditions to celebrate the festival of the Virgen de la Candelaria.ĭuring the month of February, intense rainfall was recorded in the different provinces of the department of Puno, causing an increase in the flow of the Ramis, Huancane, Ilave, Lampa, Coata, and Cabanillas rivers, among others. The event was televised on local channels as well as broadcast on the internet on virtual platforms of social networks. This is where the Central Mass was held, through a solemn ceremony led by Cardinal Pedro Barreto Jimenez (Archbishop of Huancayo), also with the presence of the main local authorities. On the contrary and as an alternative to these limitations, these activities were carried out with a limited number of attendees, observing the prevention protocols, or they were held virtually.Īt the end of January and during the first days of February, masses took place in the San Juan Bautista Parish – Sanctuary of the Virgin of Candelaria as well as in the Cathedral – located in front of the Plaza de Armas of Puno. It is an important celebration that combines religious faith with folklore through its typical dances and colorful costumes in veneration of the mamita candelaria.įor the second consecutive year and in view of the restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the authorities of the local commune (Provincial Municipality of Puno) decided to suspend face-to-face activities such as: the presentation of native dances, the contest of costumes of lights, as well as the respective parade through the main streets of the city of Puno. The only wifi that works ok is at 5th Chucker (restaurant).Like every February, the festivity of the Virgen de la Candelaria – patron saint of Puno – took place. PD: wifi is spotty and there is no cellular signal. Now we are thinking about celebrating next year New Year’s celebration there. My only recommendations is to leave the rooms at 6pm on the 25th not at 4pm. The teas included a huge array of amazing cakes… Wow, what an experience. The meals were delicious, including a full asado at lunch on day 2. Everybody tried their best to please us and make us feel special, which indeed happened. The celebration included a welcome cocktail (free drinks and champagne), full served dinner (amazing), disc jockey, live show, fireworks, dancing… Simply a-ma-zing! The service throughout was simply incredible. Because we were 16, they assigned to just us the main banquet room, which was gorgeous. The castle was fully decorated in a very upscale way and nicely iluminated. But the biggest highlight was the Christmas celebration, at the castle. The swimming pool is amazing, with a trampoline and a bar next to it. ![]() Some rooms needed some fixings here and there, but nothing serious. The rooms are very nicely decorated, with high ceilings (no ac in some, but with ceiling fans). ![]() On top of these buildings, there is an incredible capilla. There is also a room in a Molino (segregated from everybody), which looks great. The colonial buildings (3 bungalows) are near the activities and is where we stayed (4 rooms in one bungalow, all for us, plus 2 rooms in the bungalow next door). The castle has hotel rooms, but is far from where all activities and meals are. The estancia is gorgeous, with the castle as the main building. All meals were included (lunch, tea and dinner/celebration at the castle on day 1 and breakfast, lunch and tea on day 2) and all activities (outdoor swimming pool, horse and sulky riding, etc.). The Christmas package included a check in at 10am on Dec 24th and a check out at 4pm on Dec 25th, with the ability to stay until 6pm. Instead of focusing on his business, Francisco was all along worried about my mum. We had a family issue with my mum and we were considering cancelling or postponing. Francisco, our reservation coordinator, was fantastic. Simply put, the experience was way above our expectations, not only because the estancia is gorgeous, but mostly because of the amazing service we received. My family and me (16 of us) decided to spend Christmas at La Candelaria (2 days, one night).
