Carnival in La Chimana, Venezuela María Alejandra Pacheco from Venezuela Photo: 1clipart.com The special thing about our Carnival is that we celebrate with a lot of balloons. But maybe you will ask me, "Why balloons?" Maybe you are thinking of balloons with air. No, ... In my country, we have five days to enjoy Carnival. We always go to the beaches, but we have a special beach called La Chimana where we like to go to celebrate during Carnival. The special thing about our Carnival is that we celebrate with a lot of balloons. But maybe you will ask me, "Why balloons?" Maybe you are thinking of balloons with air.
