On our way to the lost city of Machu Picchu, we stopped in the village of Ollantaytambo on the day of the fiesta called the Bajada de los Reyes, when villagers from the surrounding countryside celebrate the Epiphany with costumes, parades and a bullfight.
The animated spectacle of grotesque masks and fanciful hats, with swirling skirts and ponchos, drew thousands of spectators.
And after the bullfight - fortunately no bulls were killed - the music, partying and fireworks continued on into the night.
