The story

Corso de Mascotas Cochabamba in Cochabamba

Cochabamba's Corso de Mascotas is a Carnival-season pet costume parade running from the Plazuela Colon to the Plaza de las Banderas, often paired with a children's parade as the Corso Infantil y de Mascotas. Dogs, cats and other pets appear dressed as caporales, tinkus, morenos, superheroes and original characters, while municipal organizers use the event to promote responsible pet ownership and adoption. It runs earlier and smaller than Cochabamba's main Corso de Corsos parade.

Cochabamba opens its Carnival season with a parade unlike most others in Bolivia: dogs, cats and other pets dressed in costume, walking or riding alongside their owners from the Plazuela Colon to the Plaza de las Banderas.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

The costumes are the real spectacle: owners rework Bolivian folk dance outfits, caporales, tinkus and morenos, into pet-sized versions, alongside superhero and pop-culture designs, producing a visual mix found at few other Carnival events in the country

The mystery stays covered

The parade doubles as a public messaging platform, with recent editions explicitly promoting adoption over buying pets, giving it a civic purpose beyond entertainment

The city starts moving

Because it is shorter and more family-oriented than Cochabamba's main Corso de Corsos, it works as an accessible entry point into the city's Carnival season for visitors who want the costume spectacle without the scale and intensity of the later citywide parade
