Some pictures of the Carnival of Blacks and Whites in Pasto, Nariño, south of Colombia.

The first week of every year, all the citizens from otherwise a conservative city explotes in a full week of joy, talcum powder, dancing and dances, cosmetics, parades, water, and convivialety.

Worth to visit, even when you risk your M8 and all your lenses (non my case, fortunately).
