El Callao

Venezuela / Bolivar / Upata /

El Callao was a gold mining town in eastern Venezuela, and now hosts the largest carnival in the country. Unlike many carnivals in South America there is no barrier for the procession with many performers interacting with the crowd, such as the mediopintos who threaten to dab revellers in a sticky black mixture unless they give them a donation.
