Another festival which cannot be missed here is the carnival that happens in February. It is full of vibrant colors and a true representation of the culture of the country. A week in April of Semana Santa is very sacred. Another carnival with religious colors is a festival which is called el Grand Poder. This festival is dedicated to Jesus who is called Senor el Gran Poder which means Mister Great Power.
There are three festivals in the month of June San Antonio, Santisima Trinidad and Corpus Christie. There is a lot of celebration on these three catholic holidays and one does not feel that they are somewhere in South America.
