The jaripeo scene in Comayagua went viral on TikTok and many of the users are sharing the recording.
In the last few hours, a video of a jaripeo has circulated in Comayagua, to be more specific in Villas de San Antonio.
The recording went viral through a Tiktok user, where it shows how 3 people are sitting in the middle of the corral.
As a consequence, a bull immediately comes out and throws one of the members, leaving him on the ground and the other two without moving, but they were also charged by the animal.
Likewise, the animator’s voice is heard saying “don’t move, don’t move”, and at the end he mentions “you are the winners”, which suggests that it is some competition.
Adrenaline in the corral
Residents in comments assure that jaripeo in Comayagua is a common practice in these types of activities when the municipality is celebrating.
On this occasion there were 3 people attacked by the fury of the animal, but the incident did not happen, when this practice can cause even death.
Likewise, on several occasions, the authorities have mentioned how dangerous these practices can be and their end can sometimes be tragic.
Where does the word jaripeo come from?
The term “jaripeo” comes from Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, and is derived from the word “xaripitl”, which means “meeting” or “celebration”.
In their origins, the jaripeos were celebrations in which cowboys demonstrated their skills in riding bulls and horses, roping, and handling cattle.
