    The most entertaining celebration is Fiestas Patrias because in this event you can eat different tipical food like empanadas and many others delicious dishes.

    In my opinion, Fiestas Patrias is the best celebration, because is the aniversary of Chile and you can eat typical food and drink "Earthquake", the most delicius drink.

  5. All celebrations these in the article are entertaining but i think "We tripantu" is the most interesting celebration because the culture Mapuche is important in history from Chile. Besides the representation for this culture has more symbolic value, for them is leave this past behind and We tripantu is the nearest celebration to indigenas nation that the rest of celebrations.

  11. It is true that in Chile there are many celebrations and all are interesting. However, I prefer the celebration: "Santiago a Mil" because you get the chance to see a variety of shows, for example, there is a theater with an open air and there are interesting expositions of art that you can watch. Besides, international acrobats come here to performance in this celebration.

  12. I consider that the celebrations and traditions of Chile are very important to our identity because through them the country is known wolrdwide. For example, the Viña del Mar Music Festival allows other countries to know , such as "la cueca” and “sau sau”. This festival is the most important carnival of Chile.
    Because of that, it is essential that this festival continue trought time!

  13. Usually, i don´t like very much festivities, but the "Fiesta de La Tirana" is one of the most beautiful festivals in our country. The clothes and masks used in the dances are very colorful and the religious theme makes it very interesting. I wish have someday the opportunity to visit the tiny town of La Tirana during the festival.

  15. In my opinion, the best chilean’s celebration or festival is Santiago a Mil Festival, because is a celebration that for a month, in different places of Santiago and other cities of country, many plays of dance or theater, national or international are exhibited even in the streets for free. Also is the opportunity to know other cultures of countries invited.

  17. In my opinion, although Chile is a long country, the people is the most friendly and diverse. Traditions and festivals show the identity of each city.
    In my case, "Fiestas Patrias" It has been the only event in which I have been, as it is celebrated throughout Chile.
    I recommend Chile as a country with diverse cultural activities.

  20. There are many celebration in Chile, in different cities, in my opinión all festivals are beatiful.
    It is difficult to compare, because they make different activities, for example “La Tirana” is a religious festival, “Viña Festival” is dedicated to music, “Carnaval del Sol” is a celebration of different countries and cultures, showing their dances and “Fiestas Patrias” is our national celebration, where all people , dancing cueca , eats tipycal food etc. But they are all very entertaining.

  21. Of all the celebrations of Chile, for me, the most important and funniest is Patriotic Festivities. It is celebrated throughout the month. I have a big family and we all come together to celebrate, drink wine and eat “asado”, is a holiday in family. Only I don't like this celebration for the hangover, but the rest is fantastic.

  23. I think that the most important event in chile is 18 of September. Because we celebrate the independent and the formation of the country. The form of celebrate is very nice, the people elevate volantines and play with tromps, for lunch eat a grate BBQ, empanadas and mote con huesillo. The people dress of huaso or chinita, and dance cueca.
