Carnaval in Tilcara 2009 Images

One of the many ¨diablitos¨. They speak with very high-pitched voices (perhaps to hide their identity), and are extremly cheeky. There are also women dressed as brujas (witches) who run around with giant zanahorias (carrots) - I won´t say what they do with them.




Here´s one that stole my wife a few times. she could barely walk the next day (from all the dancing that is)






This is the mojon (constructed shrine) to the diablito. It is from here that he is disinterrado (unearthed).





A couple of diablos that were encouraging the dancing and the drinking!
