About the project
The carnival of Oruro
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
In Bolivia the most famous Carnival is Oruro. The Oruro Carnival has been declared by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
From Cochabamba we organize cultural and educational activities before the Oruro Carnival. Later we participate in the Carnival of Oruro in the "ANATA ANDINO" which is the dance of the indigenous communities of gratitude to the Pachamama or Mother Earth. In Bolivia the Carnival is associated by indigenous influence to the festival of the harvest by the fruits received by the Pachamama.
It is in this context that we organize Alternative, Cultural and Educational Tours in Cochabamba as well as in Oruro so that the Volunteer understands and shares with the local culture.
