Carnival of the Devil in Riosucio

A good devil, representing all of our weaknesses and unsatisfied desires, is worshipped with music, songs and dances. Poets, writers and artists of all kinds meet with common people and have a few drinks for the sake of the Lord of the Underworld.
The Devil’s Carnival is one of the oddest celebrations in the world. Don’t miss it.
