The sands of Oruro, in western Bolivia, become a huge canvas for more than 300 artists who recreated the different stations of the Via Crucis.
The sand sculpture festival, now in its 24th edition, was held in the sands of Cochiraya, about 190 kilometers south of the capital, La Paz.
Twenty-four teams of artists began to work at first light on Friday on works doomed to be erased by the highland wind.
The sculptors sculpted from the moment the Roman governor Pontius Pilate sentenced Jesus to death until his burial in a tomb. The festival attracts a large number of people to marvel at the creations in the sand.
