A Visit to the Nacimiento USE

On Monday, 5th January 2026, we went to see the Nacimiento USE. The queue was extremely long, and we had to wait for about half an hour before seeing the show, but we enjoyed it.

A long wait but ultimately enjoying the show (0:05-0:41).

The presentation begins with a re-enactment of the Nativity scene, focusing on the annunciation to the Virgin Mary and the adoration of baby Jesus (1:02-1:28). The video also shows various festive activities that took place during Christmas (1:41-2:03).

A significant portion of the video features a miniature train journey through different parts of the region (3:00-4:13). The tour highlights:

• The Imata sector and the Pillones waterfalls (3:29-3:36).

• The Polognésico bridge, where the city's tram used to circulate (3:39-3:55).

• The Alfredo Rodríguez Bayón International Airport, showing an Antonov plane ready to transport humanitarian aid (4:15-4:45).

The video also showcases local crafts and culinary traditions:

• A stonemason creating sculptures (5:08-5:12).

• The preparation and sale of Arequipa's traditional "buñuelos" and "ponche" (5:30-5:58).

• Scenes from the Paucarpata district, showing farming activities with a "chacanero" and his mule (6:02-6:10).

• The preparation of "cuy chactado" (fried guinea pig) (6:17-6:24).

• A baker preparing the traditional three-pointed bread (6:37-6:41).

• The making of "anticuchos de corazón" (beef heart skewers) (6:53-7:04).

• A milkmaid milking a cow in the countryside (7:07-7:15).

The video concludes with more Nativity scenes, emphasizing the spreading of the news about the Savior's birth and the visit of the Magi from the East (7:27-8:22), before showing people taking photos (8:51-9:01).
