Dance Information

The town's name is thought to derive from the Aymara language, combining "purma" (desert) and "marca" (city). However, in Aymara, "desert" can also signify an area untouched by human influence. Consequently, the name is commonly understood as "Town of the virgin land", capturing the notion of an uncivilized or pristine territory.
