For years China's Lantern Festival has lit the night skies of cities around the world, like Paris, Dublin and London. For the first time ever, the festival has now come to Latin America. 

Bogota will host the Brilla festival, an event where 470 giant lanterns made in China will adorn the Colombian capital's botanical garden. The carefully hand-made structures of iron and silk with more than one million LED lights represent the different species in Colombia's diverse ecosystems.
