The Parade

Spent the day with friends in Amacueca for the Annual Festival of Pitaya (cactus fruit). The small village comes to life with thousands of people partaking in the festivities. Dozens of buses were seen at the entrance of the village bringing visitors from the surrounding area to Amacueca. It was hot and loud, but a lot of fun...can't wait till next year!
