Blacks and Whites' Carnival

Blacks and Whites' Carnival (Spanish: Carnaval de Negros y Blancos) is a Carnival, including a parade, in southern Colombia established in 1546. Although originating in the city of Pasto, it has been adopted by other municipalities in Nariño and southwestern Colombia. It is celebrated every year from 2 to 7 January and attracts many Colombian and foreign tourists. On 30 September 2009, UNESCO named this Carnival among the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
