Without any
doubt the best time to visit the city of Oruro
is in February -during the carnival-, because this splendid celebration
is a unique event, able to seduce, to impress and to charm, to
any visitor.
During the
carnival Oruro changes. It becomes a place of
music and dance, of devotion and prayers, of revel and happiness,
in which everyone would participate, including the tourists coming
from distant lands.
Not even the
rain -that is quite frequent in this time of the year and that
will force you to wear constantly a raincoat- is able to humidify
the enthusiasm of the dancers that travel the city hour after
hour, storing in their hearts the applauses of the people that
cram the rustic tribunes built to both sides of the streets.
You won't
regret visiting Oruro during the carnival, because
besides dancing with male and female devils you will be able to
discover the culture of the people of the highland.
