This celebration, one of the oldest and most important in Panama, aims to preserve and promote Panamanian folk customs and traditions. The festival takes place in the province of Herrera, where the village of Oc\u00fa is located. The festival, which officially dates back to 1967, was declared a National Festival in 1999. The name of the festival comes from the fraternity that exists within the culture of the village of Oc\u00fa, where the inhabitants are accustomed to greeting each other by shaking hands and saying &#8220;Ta&#8217; la manito&#8221;. During the festival, you can enjoy a variety of celebrations, including the peasant wedding, the Tamarindo duel, the penitent of the afterlife, and the Rancho charge. The festival is a veritable treasure-trove of the cultural roots of the Panamanian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Festival Nacional del Manito Ocue\u00f1o 2019\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6LviaFPpKr0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/test.visit-latin-america.com\/colombia\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COLOMBIA<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">19\/08 and 20\/08 &#8211; 47th Villa de Leyva Kite Festival<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-216771\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/test.visit-latin-america.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Festival-del-viento-Villa-de-Leyva-red.jpg\" alt=\"Credit: Villa de Leyva archive\" class=\"wp-image-216771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Festival-del-viento-Villa-de-Leyva-red.jpg 570w, https:\/\/visit-latin-america.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Festival-del-viento-Villa-de-Leyva-red-300x141.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Villa de Leyva archive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Villa de Leyva Kite Festival is an annual event held every third weekend in August in Colombia.
