RIOSUCIO CARNIVAL

RIOSUCIO CARNIVAL

Caldas Riosucio carnival, is one of the most colorful festivals of Colombia and attracts a considerable number of domestic and foreign visitors. Carnival is also Colombia`s  cultural intangible heritage.
What today is know as Riosucio was divided into two antagonistic communities (San Lorenzo and Quiebralomo). Their rivalry was such that each of them had its own park and its own church, until the priests (Jose Bonifacio Bonafont), tired of this insane competition, gathered all in what today is known as the Street Trade, urging them to unite as one people, failing which Satan  himself would come to punish those who breach so divine order. To celebrate the union held a party in honor of the Magi, so the carnival always coincide with these dates. Over time it became a party full of joy, humor and fun. In the year of 1915 was adopted devil figure as the image of the festival.
