The image depicts a vibrant daytime parade or cultural performance occurring on a cobbled street in the historic center of Arequipa, Peru. In the foreground, three individuals, two males and one female, are prominently featured, striking dynamic poses with raised arms, suggesting dancing or movement. All are adorned in elaborate, matching costumes predominantly featuring teal/turquoise blue feathers, black and white beadwork, and intricate patterns. The male on the far left stands bare-chested with extensive black body paint on his torso and legs, wearing a feathered headband, beaded necklace, armbands, and a short, feathered skirt-like garment. His right arm is raised with an open palm, and his left arm is bent. The male in the center is also bare-chested, with subtle body glitter, and wears a similar feathered headdress, beaded adornments, a feathered skirt, and black knee pads. Both of his arms are raised with clenched fists. The female on the right wears a two-piece costume consisting of a decorated bra top and matching short shorts, both heavily embellished with beads and sequins. She also has a feathered headband, armbands, knee pads, and ankle decorations. Both of her arms are raised with clenched fists, and she displays a slight smile. All three wear white sneakers. The street is paved with dark grey cobblestones. In the background, colonial-style buildings line the street. A prominent two-story building in the mid-background is painted a distinct blue, featuring multiple rectangular windows on the ground floor and arched windows on the second floor, along with a dark wooden balcony spanning its facade. To the right of the blue building, a white building is partially visible, featuring a small, dark iron-wrought balcony and a pole with a red flag. A blue circular sign displaying white symbols of a bicycle and a person walking is affixed to this pole, indicating a shared path. To the left of the blue building, another white structure is visible, with an antenna or pole rising above its roofline. The lighting is bright and even, indicating daylight conditions.
