An exquisite coffee table book, luxuriously illustrated with photographs. The volume is a deep dive into a magical and earthy world, spanning lands where courage and daring are cherished by men educated from childhood in riding horses. These riders, known as qorilazos, have an ancient and grand tradition, which they uphold in festivals where they also sing, play music, and engage in traditional Chumbivilcan bullfighting." From the back cover: "The book Chumbivilcas: Golden Lassos, produced between 2013-1014, is a contemporary close-up of the province's festive diversity, as well as its historical legacy and its relevance within the changes that are spreading across Peru today. The immense cultural riches of Chumbivilcas leave one speechless due to its archaeological remains and landscapes; in the everyday lives of the people. However, it is the varied festivals in the countryside and the cities throughout the year which demonstrate the profound emotive nature of Chumbivilcan customs."
