In Bolivia this festival is celebrated on August 14, 15, and 16 in Quillacollo, a town located 15 kilometers from the city of Cochabamba. During that period hundreds of thousands of people move from most of the country's departments to worship the Virgin of Urkupina or colloquially "La mamita de Urkupina".

His party is celebrated every August 15 in honor of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. There is a painting of the image of the Mother in Viceroyalty art dating from 1761, with the name of "Virgin of Urkupina".

On Wednesday the 16th at dawn, thousands of people make a pilgrimage from the city of Cochabamba, along the highway that connects three municipalities, Cercado (Cochabamba), Colcapirhua and Quillacollo. Among people who arrive from the country and foreigners, children, young people and adults, walk the 15 kilometers to "Calvario", a place where pilgrims arrive to Calvario to celebrate a mass and a ritual in which they hit stones with some combos (hammers). The bigger the piece of stone they extract, the more the blessing of the "Mommy of Urkupina" will be. At the entrance to Calvary, all kinds of miniatures, houses, vehicles, money in dollars, euros and Bolivianos (maybe this year there will be yuan), university graduation diplomas, etc. are sold.
These miniatures are used in the "combo" ritual, a person blesses the place chosen by the one who will work, putting beer and mixture among others.

Many foreigners, like Bolivian migrants abroad, come to thank him for what they have received and many also claim that miracles have been accomplished for them. From health to material.
