Overview

• Volunteer searchers in Casabindo have trekked through Cerro Morado and Tolaijo to locate wild bulls ahead of the 14:00 Toreo de la Vincha in Plaza Pedro Quipildor today.
• The non-violent bull challenge requires promesantes to remove a red vincha adorned with coins from the horns without harming the animals, offering it to the Virgin and Pachamama in a centuries-old rite.
• Local organizer Enrique Cruz, president of the Comisión Pro Templo, highlighted the arduous multi-day field searches that underpin the festival’s staging.
• El Tribuno de Jujuy is broadcasting the Casabindo ceremonies live on YouTube, allowing pilgrims from across the NOA region to follow the proceedings remotely.
• In Toledo, Archbishop Francisco Cerro Chaves presided over the Assumption mass and civic pageantry—including processions, gigantes y cabezudos parades and a medieval market—while Mayor Carlos Velázquez urged heat-wave precautions and commemorated upcoming centennial observances.
