Every dog has its day…
…but in Tarija, Bolivia they get at least a week! Tarija’s well known Fiesta de San Roque features dogs parading through the streets in festive collars (San Roque being the patron saint of dogs). The festival also features daily parades of Chunchos (an indigenous tribe) in stunning traditional costumes with bright feathers, ribbons and sequins, accompanied by drums and wind instruments unique to the Tarija region.

A Bolivian festival full of legend, superstition unusual customs…
The Bolivian festival in honor of the Virgin de Urcupiña is celebrated with fabulous costume parades and dances and a 15km midnight pilgrimage lit by the candles of hopeful villagers carrying miniatures representing various requests for the Virgin - houses, fake dollar bills, cars, passports, university diplomas, even a woman giving birth!
