Description
A dancer in costume wearing a face mask to protect him from swine flu kneels in the street during mass at the festival on honour of the Virgen del Carmen in Paucartambo, near Cusco, Peru. Many of the costumes and masks are parodies of the Spanish who colonised South America, modern events are can often be featured as well! There had been a worldwide outbreak of swine flu (technically H1N1 flu) shortly before this image was taken in July 2009; it is just as relevant these days as the 2019-nCoV coronavirus makes news headlines worldwide.
