The word Jaripeo (Spanish: [xaɾiˈpeo] ) refers to a form of rodeo, particularly bull riding practiced in some Latin American countries.
In Mexico, mainly in the country's central and southern regions, jaripeo refers to the bull-riding events where bucking bulls are attempted to be ridden until they tire and stop bucking or until they buck off their riders. American-style bull riding, where riders attempt to stay mounted on bucking bulls for only eight seconds before dismounting is also practiced in Mexico. However, it is more common in the country's northern regions.
