Description
The Virgen del Carmen / Our Lady of Mt Carmel is celebrated in many villages in Latin America on July 16th. One of the most famous festivals takes place in Paucartambo, a small village in the Andes near Cusco, Peru. Devil dancers taunt the figure of the Virgen from balconies and rooftops when she is carried through the village, representing the battle between good and evil.
