-The son of a vaquero, Pedro Carillo was born in 1947 in Colombia. He began his circus career as a roustabout in traveling circuses. In his spare time, he practiced wire-walking and soon become proficient enough to perform on the high wire. Along with Daniel Acosta, another high-wire walker who had followed a similar training path, Pedro joined a newly formed high-wire troupe and toured Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador. In 1967, the troupe came to the United States, where they performed in fairs and traveling circuses.

-Having honed their skills and acquired performance experience, Pedro and Daniel created their own high-wire duet, The Carillo Brothers. They performed, at great speed, rarely seen tricks, such as a two-man-high column with a dismount on the wire, jumps over each other, and rope-jumping&mdash;all without a net, and most of the time without a balance pole. [[Harold Alzana]], [[The Great Doval]] (Manfred Fritsch), and [[Gene Mendez]] and Joe Seitz had popularized this style of frenetic high-wire daredevilry, but when the Carillo Brothers began performing their act, it was still a novelty.

-The Carillo Brothers quickly made their mark. In 1977, they were featured as a solo act in [[Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey]]'s ''Greatest Show On Earth''. That same year, they participated in the [[International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo]], where they became a sensation and won a Silver Clown award. Later in the year, Daniel Acosta seriously injured himself in a fall during a performance with Ringling Bros. Luis Posso, who was born to a family of Colombian high-wire artists, replaced him.

The challenge was to walk as quickly as possible across a kilometer-long (3,280 feet) cable stretched over the Huan River, 22 meters above the water. He finished in eighth place, completing the walk in just over seventeen minutes.
