San Juan- Rama de Gallo- Two women hold up a rama de gallo, or branch of roosters, as a group of people dance in front of a church during the Inti Raymi, or San Juan, fiesta in San Juan, Ecuador, in June, 2004. Recoprocity is a key part of the San Juan fiesta. When someone is given one rooster, six are returned. If someone is given money, they return double that amount the following year.
