La piñata
The IH Riviera Maya piñata
The piñata is a brightly-coloured paper container which is filled usually with sweets. Generally it is suspended on a rope from a tree branch or ceiling and is used during celebrations. In Mexico the piñata is one of the big things used to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas and Easter.
The imagination and creativity Mexicans put into their piñatas is unlimited: lambs, burros, roosters, chickens, angels, Christmas trees and Santa Claus figures…
You can find every size and shape imaginable – as you can see from IH Rivera's Maya piñata.
