Inside South America a year in pics: Colombian street performers

Inside South America is on vacation. But over the holidays I'll be posting some of my favorite photos from the year.

Colombians are renowned in the region for being go-getters, and that's definitely on display on most streets. In downtown Bogota, dozens of street performers elbow for space on busy sidewalks hoping to make a few pesos. Below are a few that caught my eye: 1) man with his head in a cage. 2) the human Transformer. 3) a traditional dancer gets patted down on his way into an event.
