More pictures from the second day of parades at the Barranquilla Carnaval. Mostly traditional dance groups from different regions of Colombia, complete with traditional and modern costumes and outfits. Here are the pix. 
UNESCO has designated the Barranquilla Carnaval as part of the Intangible Cultural Patrimony of the world. Perhaps in response, Barranquilla has undertaken a concerted effort to bring young people into the tradition, in order to keep it alive. As a result, the parade is full of young people (in complete costumes and dancing up a storm), as well as the older generation who still cannot get enough.
