The Fighting Cholitas are a group of female wrestlers who perform in El Alto, Bolivia. Tickets to the exhibitions cost $1. Like the general population of El Alto, which consists almost entirely of Aymara and Quechua residents, the Cholitas are indigenous. They wear braided hair, bowler hats and multilayered skirts in the ring. Here: a view shows the cholitas wrestlers during their return to the ring after the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) restrictions, in El Alto outskirts of La Paz, November 29, 2020.
