In this February 3, 2018 photo, fair vendors hold up a black backdrop behind Alberto Macias Rios, dressed as “Ekeko”, the god of prosperity and the central figure of the Alasita Fair, as he poses for a picture in La Paz, Bolivia. Macias, 65, says his low stature helps him pull off the Ekeko personality. “I grew up with the Alasitas fair accompanying my mother when the fair filled various streets and avenues of La Paz”, he said. Macias competed in this year's Ekeko costume competition. (Photo by Juan Karita/AP Photo)
