What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival is the anchor cultural event of Paso Yobai's fiesta patronal calendar, held at the town's municipal sports complex rather than a purpose-built festival ground, which gives it the character of a genuine community gathering rather than a tourism-oriented production

02

The mystery stays covered

Its name, Itaju, references gold-bearing stone found in the surrounding Guaira department countryside, an area long associated with small-scale mining and stonework, tying the festival's identity to the region's mineral landscape as well as its patronal religious calendar
