Description
We'll start this activity at the meeting point at 3:30 p.m. (at Buhos Tours). From there, we'll walk to the cable car stop for 10 to 15 minutes towards the city of Alto to catch the bus to the Cholita Exhibition Hall. Once we arrive, our guide will welcome us and give us information about the mural made by an artist who valued the work of the women in pollera skirts. Inside the exhibition hall, we'll see the gym where the brave women get in shape. Then, you'll see the next room where there's a prototype of the ring, wood-carved art, masks, and a representation of the cholita clothing that conveys a lot of relevant information about them. There's also a small representation of the room. If you want, you can dress up as a Cholitas, as there are clothes like polleras, corsets, blankets, and hats. We recommend you try it. Once the tour of the exhibition hall is done, we'll continue to the ring room to enjoy the 'Cholitas Wrestling' show. Both men and women will participate. Enjoy the show with some popcorn and soda. At the end of the show, you'll have access to a photo session with the Cholitas wrestlers. And we'll head back to the city center on our bus around 7:30 pm.Includes
