Fantastic experience with wife and child. - What a great atmosphere, dancing, smiles, joy, colors, music, street food! Pure folklore. The dance groups, all rigorously dressed in colorful outfits, dance to the rhythm of drums alternating and crossing streets in downtown S. Cruz. If you happen in the right period it is a must!
