People

Today I am posting some photos of the people of Bolivia and Peru. I'll describe as I go. (And I wish the photos would go back to their normal, smaller size!)

Gran Poder, in May, is the largest festival in La Paz. It is organized like a parade, which goes from about 8am until midnight. Each group, or fraternity, makes their costumes by hand, has their own special dance, and plans this all out about a year in advance.
