 El Fotografo spied this guy at the 2006 pilgrimage. He embodies the fertility cult that underpins the festival's Catholic traditions, which have been sycretized with older, Andean rituals.

I find this image rather terrifying, for some reason.

We looked again for the Sheep's Head Dancer this past May but didn't see hide nor hair of him, as they say.
