Strange Ritual on Copacabana

This is the blessing of the car ceremony in the village of Copacabana, on the Bolivian side of Lake Titikaka. This is the village Priest, and on the car bonnet you see minitual animals and cars place, similar to Chinese belief, as the locals hope to get this in the new year. The only difference is they do not burn it as an offering to their Gods. In this case, this is a mix between the Inka´s God and Christianity. After the "blessing" the people spray Bolivian booze all over the car before drinking the rest! So all in all it is a good little tradition for all participants! :)
