CHAYA RIOJANA | DESCUBRE SU HISTORIA para comprender la celebración UNICA EN ARGENTINA

Chaya was a beautiful young woman and Pujllay a young rogue and womanizer, the legend tells of a love story with a sad ending. These characters are the basis of an ancestral celebration that dates back to the Diaguitas, also involving gods to whom the Incas worshipped them. Every February in La Rioja, the chaya festival is celebrated with great intensity and year after year it extends a little more. The festivals whose dates occupy the month of January already anticipate the chaya and those that occupy the month of March also refer to the chaya, it is for this reason that we ensure that in La Rioja chaya is taken during the first quarter of the year. The essential components of the chaya are still intact: Pujllay, water, flour, basil, chayera boxes, coplas and vidalas, the cumpa and the cuma, the priest and the arch, are some of those elements that characterize the festival of the people of La Rioja. Many still did not dare to live the chaya as it should be lived, and many others were encouraged and found a reason or reason to return every summer. Chayas, chayitas, topamientos, coronación, are some of the denominations with which the people of La Rioja are summoned to public spaces and even blocking streets during the month of February. Thousands and thousands of kilos of flour will be unusable on the floor, since this is the element that equalizes the attendees where they will only be recognized as: monkeys and chinitas.
