Cusco is famous for having lots of festivals, seemingly every weekend according to the locals. The first time we visited, we ran across a festival in honor of "Amistad" taking place in the neighborhood of San Blas. This time we ran across a bigger festivity, a big parade in honor of the anniversary of the founding of the Instituto Nacional de Cultura. We were clued into the fact that people were preparing for a parade when we saw a number of folks walk into the building of the Instituto accompanied by horses and people in brightly colored costumes.
The parade took place along the main Avenida del Sol and included lots of dancers, musicians, and even a few floats.
have you noticed that all of these pictures have the same color to them? like you have a film over your lens?
