On Tuesday, the Dance of the Tiger is performed. Two tiger and two monkeys (male and female) are accompanied by a hunter, soldiers, "tatamonos" and "arreadores." The tigers hunt the monkeys as the hunter hunts the tigers. Accompanied by [[tambourine]]s, [[marimba]]s and [[flute]]s, the dance ends when the monkeys triumph over the tigers with the help of the hunter. |

Unlike most carnivals, the events do not end at midnight start of Ash Wednesday. On this day, all participants and visitors to the Carnival are purified with a "bath" using "zapoyal", a powder extracted from a yellow pod-shaped fruit. On Thursday, there is a ceremonial "robbery" of the pig’s head that adorned the servant of "el Mahoma". Then there is a dinner with marimba music. As part of this event, new people are chosen to play the various roles for next year's Carnival. |
