Masks of Meta
A traditional folk festival is held every year in San Martin, in the province of Meta. The annual event, also known as the Folclorico y Turistico del Llano festival (or the international tourism festival of the Llano folk), has at least 272 years of history and commemorates the native people's struggle for freedom against Spanish colonisation.
