Oruro, a Bolivian town at 12,139 feet is the scene for a 10-day-long Carnival that mixes Christian and Andean beliefs. The Spanish originally banned the local Uru people from performing their Ito festival. The people hid their symbols beneath the imposed Christian icons, although the date was moved to Christian Candlemas, February 2. Nowadays, the people of Oruro celebrate their God in the Indigenous Carnival of Oruro, in what is now a UNESCO-recognized Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. People dress as a llama-type creature called a diablada, with 10 days of traditional songs, dances, textiles, and embroidery. The main parade lasts more than 20 hours and features over 28,000 dancers and 10,000 musicians.
