Bolivia: in the heat of the Oruro Carnival | FULL DOCUMENTARY

On the high plateaus of Bolivia at more than 3700 meters of altitude, in Oruro, the carnival is the living expression of the long history of the conquest of the country by the Spanish people. If the carnival is entirely dedicated to the virgin, with the pilgrimage-parade which lasts more than 5 hours, it is a virgin of mixed race which is venerated, fruit of the resistance of the local populations which succeeded in transmitting the symbols of the Andean cultures. And it is to the rhythm of the "Diablada", which embodies the soul of the Andean man that the carnival is celebrated, danced and played every year during several days.
