Riosucio, Caldas
first week of January, every two years (odd-numbered years)
Held every two years around January 6. Its central figure is the Devil, who here stands not for evil but for the spirit of the celebration. There are parades of cuadrillas with satirical verses and costumes, tributes to the matachines, and closing rites such as the symbolic burning of the Devil.
Dates change every year: confirm them with the town before you travel.
