It's called "Alasitas," the festival that makes everyone feel like a kid again.
It's a celebration of hope for — and faith in — abundance for the coming year. And it's celebrated in miniature. Stall after stall sells tiny versions of everything — from luggage to cars to computers to dollar bills and mini-euros.
All of this is blessed by local shamans who sprinkle the booty with incense and hootch.
It's Bolivia at its most pagan.
