Devil's Carnival:
It is one of the most colorful festivals of Colombia. Carnival is also intangible cultural heritage of Colombia. What today is known as Riosucio was divided into two antagonistic communities (San Lorenzo and Quiebralomo). Their rivalry was such that each had its own park and its own church, until the priests (Jose Ramon Bueno and Jose Bonifacio Bonafont), tired of this unhealthy competition, gathered all in what today is known as the Street Trade, urging them to unite as one people, under penalty of Satan himself would come to punish those who fail to comply with such divine solicitud.Con time it became a party full of joy, humor and fun. In 1915 the devil figure was adopted as the effigy of the festival.
