Oruro Carnival

Oruro holds the Oruro Carnival, one of the most prominent folkloric and cultural celebrations in all of South America, every year right before Ash Wednesday. Over 28,000 dancers perform a wide range of ethnic dances at the event. The dancers are accompanied by 10,000 musicians.


Unlike carnival in Rio, which has a different theme every year, Oruro Carnival always starts with the diablada, or devil dance. It is said to have preserved the majority of pre-Columbian America's creative expression.
