Crillon Tours: Bolivia, Where Every Season Tells a Story
On Saturday, August 1st, 2026, La Paz moved to a different rhythm. The Gran Poder Parade, one of Bolivia’s most important folkloric celebrations and recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, transformed the city into a river of colour, music and movement, as thousands of dancers and musicians filled its streets in an extraordinary expression of living Andean culture.
For Crillon’s travellers who were in La Paz that day, it became an unexpected highlight of their journey. Crillon Tours arranged reserved seating along the parade route, allowing our guests to experience the spectacle up close — from the intricate costumes and powerful brass bands to the energy of a tradition deeply woven into the identity of the city.
Gran Poder is only one date in a remarkable Bolivian year. Our Bolivia Calendar brings together major folkloric celebrations, cultural events, celestial phenomena visible beneath the immense skies of Uyuni and Lake Titicaca, and much more.
