Oruro
Cultural and Archaeological Route
|
 |
|
This
route begins in the town of Oruro,
known as “The Bolivian Folklore
Capital” because of the Lavish
Folklore Carnival held there every
year in honour of the Virgin of
Socavón, which is considered to
be the utmost expression of
Bolivia’s popular and
traditional cultures.

Examining the Past |
|
|
The ancient cultures that flourished on Colombian territory left behind a series of structures, ceramics and gold and silverwork. Archeological digs are still underway to show the present generations just what their true roots were, such as the Tayrona and San Agustín cultures, among others. |
