Halloween has nothing on these guys. Absolutely.
The colours, the fantasy ! There must have been hundreds of costumes, from angels to demons, each fantastically handcrafted !
These photos were taken by my amazing backpacker husband. He was just walking down a street of Cochabamba, Bolivia, when he bumped into this. I miss living in a country where I could randomly bump into awesomestuff.

Click on the photos to see them large. These fantastic costumes absolutely deserve that !
I wish I knew what the stuff on these cars represented. Anyway, check out the lamas on the 2nd car !
Most of the costumed people were dancing. Some of the costumes must have weighed a lot !
Yes, this guy was dancing too. Try to imagine it ! His costume is huuuge !
This costume is cool. Move over, Batman.
And this little condor is the cutest:
Spaniards. Conquistadores. Donas and Torros. Ole !
And the Indians. With lots of feathers.
Of course, no procession is complete without Cholitas. Here in green and orange.
