(26 Feb 2022) Thousands of colorfully dressed dancers and musicians kicked off Carnival celebrations in the Bolivian city of Oruro on Saturday.
Paraders said they were missing their traditional celebration after being canceled last year.
Almost everyone in Oruro, a former mining center in western Bolivia, has a role, as dancer, musician, dressmaker or make-up artist.
The event, one of Latin America's most famous, involves some 20-thousand dancers dressed in traditional costumes, and musicians that parade through the streets of the city.
The events, which attracted hundreds of visitors to Bolivia, last throughout the weekend.
Oruro's carnival is a United Nations World Heritage event.
