Bolivia: Unique Experiences of Folklore, Culture, and Ancestral Beliefs in the World In February,
50,000 dancers shared their faith and devotion at the Carnival of Oruro in Bolivia (UNESCO World Heritage Site 2008), one of the most amazing folk festivals on the planet. Was this the only opportunity to learn about Bolivian beliefs and culture? No. On June 21st, the Andean-Amazonian New Year, or “Willkakuti,” is celebrated. A sacred festival where Father Sun, “Tata Inti,” returns after winter, representing the rebirth of the sun. Millions of Bolivians and international visitors gather at ceremonial sites to receive the first rays of the sun, recharge their energy, connect with nature, and give thanks. Experience Willkakuti at the Salar de Uyuni, where energy is concentrated, purity resides, and connections occur. Hidalgo Tours Bolivia!
