 At its times, couples dance forming the "pandilla" (a kind of dance) around the "humishas" - trees adorned with quitasueños, small mirrors, ornamental chain stitches and pennants.These trees are filled with gifts, including live animals, which the guests take when these trees are knocked down at the end of the celebration.The couple that makes the "humisha" fall down in a Mardi gras celebration has the commitment to make a new "humisha" from the following year onward.
