Girl with water balloons

First day of Carnival 2010 in Jujuy Capital (Argentina).

This was a great Carnival party in the old (disused) train station in San Salvador de Jujuy. Music, cheap red wine (often mixed with CocaCola) and a great crowd having a lot of fun.

During Carnival festivities in the Andes mountains, a local tradition consists in throwing white talk powder, spray foam and confettis (and sometimes water balloons) to the face of others while drinking and dancing to the music of marching bands.
