El Charro

El Charro
by Ana Joaquina


Charrería is Mexico’s national sport and a tradition of great cultural significance, recognized by UNESCO as part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. It involves performing various horse drills with a team. In this photo, a Mexican charro is executing one of these drills with his lasso, or ‘lazo,’ while jumping on his horse.
