In this February 3, 2018 photo, Alberto Macias Rios, dressed as “Ekeko”, the god of prosperity and the central figure of the Alasita Fair, holds fake money as he poses for a portrait in La Paz, Bolivia. Macias, 65, says his low stature helps him pull off the Ekeko personality, which he's proud and happy to emulate. Macias competed in this year's Ekeko costume competition.
