Overview of festivals and celebrations in Bolivia

Bolivia is famous for a great variety of carnivals like all Latin American countries. The most famous carnival takes place in the city of Oruro in the first days of February every year. Folklore traditions are unique. They are protected by UNESCO as the "spiritual heritage of humanity". The tradition of worshipping the mother goddess Pachamama and the mountain God Tio Supaya is about 2 thousand years old. The Spaniards never managed to eradicate this holiday. So they gradually convinced the locals that their goddess is the Virgin Mary, and the terrible mountain God is the Devil. An incredibly colorful carnival procession passes through the streets of the city in a strikingly organic symbiosis of cultures. About 400 thousand people come from all over the country and abroad to watch and participate in the carnival. It is held at the same time as the carnival in Brazil. The Bolivian carnival is not inferior to it. The simultaneous performance of more than 30 thousand dancers and up to 10 thousand musicians is the pinnacle of the celebration. They are dressed in national, religious, fantastic, and simply very bright costumes. Local spirits are drunk everywhere during the celebration. This only increases the festive mood. Viewers can join participants at any time. This makes Oruro a single huge carnival. Two mandatory performances are arranged at the end of the celebration. One of them tells about the conquest of these lands by the Spaniards. The second performance is about how the Archangel Michael defeated the Devil. … Open
