When: The festival lasts about 9 days, it begins this year on May 1st, but the main day is always May 3rd
Where: Both the Alasitas Fair and the Festivity of the Bellavista Cross will take place in the neighborhood of Bellavista (ask for Barrio Bellavista), which is close to Puno's city center and thus within walking distance from the train station and most hotels.
At our newest hostel, Pirwa La Paz, we're excited for of the biggest festivals in La Paz is the Fiesta del Gran Poder. El Gran Poder means the all powerful, as the festival is based on Christ the All Powerful, the 2nd figure in an early 17th century painting of the trinity in which the three entities display Indian or mestizo features.
