About the rite
After menarche, a Yine girl spends a period in seclusion and receives instruction from older women. In present-day descriptions from Miaria, seclusion lasts about a week; she then returns with body designs and appears at a celebration as an adult woman.
Peru’s official tourism inventory records celebrations in Miaria on 29 and 30 August, while also noting that the practice is becoming less common.
