Description
Hundreds of miners take part in a ceremony to honour El Tio ('The Uncle'), the god of mines in Bolivian folklore, by sacrificing white llamas inside a mine and removing their still beating hearts. The ritual is performed every year a day before the main parade of Oruro carnival, one of Bolivia's biggest celebrations. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
