Handmade Peruvian Dolls with Traditional Huaylas Costume

Experience the magic and tradition of one of Peru’s most representative dances with our doll dressed in the traditional Huaylas costume. Originating from the Mantaro Valley in the Junín region, this folkloric dance was declared a National Cultural Heritage in 2005 and is one of the oldest and most emblematic in the country.

Cultural Significance:
Huaylas is not just a dance; it’s a celebration of the agricultural life of the Andes. Its movements and choreography symbolize the phases of planting, cultivating, and harvesting potatoes, a ritual of gratitude to Mamapacha (Mother Earth) to ensure a bountiful harvest. Each step and gesture expresses the farmer’s work and devotion, highlighting the colorful courtship between the man and the woman.

Costume Details:
Our doll is dressed in the traditional Huaylas attire, which includes:

Wide-Brimmed Hat: Adorned with colorful ribbons, representing the joy and festive spirit of the dance.
Blouse and Skirt: Made from vibrant fabrics and hand-embroidered, reflecting the cultural richness and craftsmanship of the region.
Shawl: An essential piece that adds authenticity and a touch of warmth to the outfit, used to protect against the Andean cold.
Accessories: Complemented with typical jewelry and details that enhance the elegance and splendor of the traditional costume.
