Bosque Santa Clara is a coastal forest of the La Paz Department, to the east of the town of Playa El Pimental.

[citation needed] This department is one of the oldest in the country; hence it adopted many of ancestral customs and dances including “The Tiger and the Deer”, "The Ascension Bulls”, “The Levers of Santa Cruz”, and others.

The dance presents the story of a married couple that left to hunt the tiger; however, he was attacked by the animal and he had to request aid to some timber men that were close and to beg to the Señor de la Caridad, protector of the municipality, to save them of the danger.

It consists of four characters: “the old ones” that represent the couple that go with the shotgun and the bow; the tiger and the Lord of the drum that mark the steps of the dance.

Some common dishes include pupusas, empanadas de leche or frijoles (banana on the outside and inside is pureed milk or beans).
