A brass band plays and people dance among the graves of a graveyard at Todos Santos or All Saints Day in Oruro Bolivia Crates with empty beer bottles stand on the ground In the Altiplano of Bolivia it is customary that a family in which there has been a death within the last three years call down the spirit for a three day visit after which they go to the graveyard to decorate the grave and take farewell At Todos Santos the graveyards are therefore crowded with people who drink alcohol and chew coca leaves while taking farewell of their dead family members
