Llamerada

It is also a remembrance of the task of herding llamas and has historical religious value as a ritual of good fortune.

[1] This dance is meant to represent the Highland llama holders and breeders.

Therefore, the dancers (male) traditionally hold a little llama in their left hand while rotating the "honda" in their right.

Some claim that the Llamerada is a very old, even Inca dance[citation needed], an argument mainly based on the fact that llama herding has been very important to the indigenous peoples of the Andes for centuries and the Inca Empire encompassed parts of Bolivia.

There is very little known about how the actual version emerged; even the costumes have changed a lot during the last few decades.
