Llactaymanta is a non-profit association with strictly cultural objectives. It seeks to promote Peruvian culture, particularly among second-generation Peruvians, with the aim of passing on traditions through dance.

Kallpa, a Quechua word meaning ‘strength’, is a Latin American folk dance group.
It was founded in 2022 and currently consists of dancers who have come together to promote the cultures of this continent. The two founders were born in Europe and share Peruvian roots.
