This image captures a daytime cultural procession in front of the Church of María Auxiliadora in La Paz, Bolivia. The prominent architectural background is a large, Gothic-revival style stone church, featuring two large arched wooden doors with intricate carving and an "1884" inscription above the left entrance. Approximately ten individuals, primarily adult males, are depicted participating in the procession, moving from left to right across the frame. They are dressed in elaborate, multi-layered traditional costumes. In the left foreground, a person wears a voluminous red and gold costume with multiple tiered sections and fringe, topped with a silver hat, and white athletic shoes are visible. In the mid-ground, several individuals wear predominantly white and silver costumes, similarly tiered and fringed, some adorned with green and red accents and feathered headpieces in red, yellow, and green hues. One individual in a white and silver costume faces the viewer, holding a decorative object. Additional costumed participants are visible further back. The procession takes place on a dark paved street. In the lower right, a low, arched metal fence separates the street from a grassy patch. The scene is brightly lit by direct sunlight, casting shadows onto the pavement.
