We saw this performer on our train ride back from Machu Picchu.These kind of costumes and masks are very often worn in the Paucartambo colourful Virgen del Carmen festival (Our Lady of Mount Carmel), held each 16 July. Paucartambo’s three-day Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen is one of the biggest street parties in Peru, and attracts tens of thousands of travellers, almost all Peruvian, each year. Paucartambo from Quechua: Pawqar Tampu, (meaning "colored tambo") is a town in Southern Peru, capital of the province Paucartambo in the region Cusco.
