End of the year 'Desfile de Viudas' at the Multicolor Border Carnival in Ipiales, Colombia

Participants dressed as “widows” take part in the traditional 'Desfile de Viudas' during the Multicolor Border Carnival in Ipiales, Colombia. The parade symbolically marks the end of the festive year through satire, humor, and social criticism, with performers using theatrical costumes and irony to comment on political, social, and everyday issues, reinforcing the carnival’s transgressive spirit along the Colombia–Ecuador border.
