The kallawayas dance expresses through a rich choreography and colorful dresses the representation of the "yatiri" (healer) with his relevant status inside the community and profound respect in the Andean world.
The choreography is notable for the "llantucha" of "suri" that is the awning made of ostrich feathers that the itinerant physician uses for covering himself against sunburn or the raindrop in his long treks carrying spiritual and material health to the ayllus.
