With striking attire, jaguar masks and leather or boxing gloves, residents of the Acatlan community stage the tecuanes fight, a pre-Hispanic rite that includes rites, prayers, processions and dances so that there is fertility in the land and abundant harvests; the stronger the blows, the more rain will fall for the benefit of the community.
