  1. My favourite cultural celebration in Chile is the andean festival "With the strenght of the sun". Is the best festival. In my opinion is more interesting than "Santiago a mil".

    For me the andean festival "With the strenght of the sun" is better than the festival of music "Viña del Mar", because i like people participanting "on fire" dancing with andean music. ¡It´s amazing!.

  2. My favorite cultural celebration in Chile is "Fiestas Patrias". "Fiestas patrias" is the most patriotic celebration in Chile. The tipical foods of "Fiestas patrias" are the best of the year. The tipical games (tropos, volantines) are more simple than the videogames. For me, this is the best part of the year.

  3. I really like all the celebrations in Chile but I never have heard before about the “we tripantu” and I think that is the best celebration of the Mapuche´s . For me is more interesting than “Carnaval Andino con la fuerza del Sol”. But I think that the best for me is "Festival de la Tirana" because I really like the dancers and their dresses.

  4. Chileans are people who like celebrate for everything. I don’t know all the celebrities mentioned, but I really like "The 18 of September” or "Fiestras Patrias”, because I love the typical food, like the “Cabritos” or “Choripan”. The Cabritos are a sweet pastry that is covered for merengue, and I like eat the “Choripan” with cabbage, is very strange but is delicious.

  5. The celebrations the biggest are “Fiestas Patrias”, it is enjoy with family and and remember an important milestone in the history of our country. it is certainly the friendliest party where we share all chileans. El “Festival de Viña del Mar” is more boring than “Fiestas Patrias”, because only listening to international singers and is more expensive than “Fiestas Patrias”.

  6. I think that Chile is a country where you can live very entertaining experiences about culture ,food, art and music. Personally , I like the time where "Patriotic Festivities" is celebrated , because I really like the food that is prepared and the music played . I think it's a very funny festival that unites us as a country and allows us to rest from daily work. The other events are also entertaining encounter, as it is a good chance to learn new things , but the truth is that my preferred is the "Patriotic Festivities"

  7. Chile is one of the most interesting countries to visit, as it has a great cultural diversity but me in particular I like The Carnaval Andino Con la Fuerza del Sol as it rescues the beautiful customs of our indigenous peoples. I think this celebration is more representative than "Fiestas Patrias" because currently few Chileans know what we are really celebrating on this date.

  8. I am planning to visit La Tirana the next summer. Is the most interesting religious festival in Chile, gathers a lot of people from different origins. The customs that distinguish this event are changing constantly, their practitioners usually integrate new elements. Surprisingly, this “traditional” festival is more dynamic than another non-religious events, like Viña del Mar.

  11. My favorite cultural celebration is "fiestas partias" because everyone in the country celebrates depending on they live . In all cities there are events called "Fondas" where the people drink and eat typical food. Also people dance typical music fox example "cuecas", "Cumbias". Everyone is happy in those days. These days are best days of the year

  12. Between the different cultural celebrations and festivals from Chile, my favorite is La Tirana festival.
    Three years ago, i went to this celebration and i think it is the best festival, because you can see a colorful environment, with different dances, for me these are the most difficult but fun, actually i danced, it was great!
    Also the people, in there, are friendlier than the people from the festival of Viña del Mar . They are fun-loving people.

  13. I think all celebrations in Chile are unique and interesting. There is also a community interested to make a great festival with style.
    For example: in the "Festival de la tirana" the focus is on more clothes than "Fiestas patrias", the main focus is on food.
    Also the "Mapuches" celebrations as helping to preserve the essence and culture of Chile.

  14. I really can`t choose wich festival it`s the best in chile because for me all of them are very interesting. But if compare Viñas festival with the other ones it`s the most during celebration. Also Viña is more interesting than La tirana because it brings lots of international music figures. But it`s more expensive than Santiago a mil.

  15. I think that “Fiestas Patrias” is the most important cultural celebration of Chile, because is one of the oldest celebration here.
    In my opinion "Viña del mar music festival" is more entertaining than "Fiestas Patrias", because we can see famous music artist of the world. but I think that this festival is not cultural, because most of the music is not chilean.

  16. I think that identity of Chile as country is made by a great part of cultural events.
    Each celebration is special and unique in all the world, also in each event or festival many people meet and share joyfully, for example it happens in the "Festival de la Tirana" or in "Fiestas Patrias", this last celebration is my favorite because there are many typical foods, traditional games and dances.

  17. "Fiestas Patrias" is the best celebration in Chile, It's a great party at national level, which is celebrated with family. Most people eat typical food and there are shows with music and typical chilean dances. I think it's a fun date which unites us as a country, people are happier and quieter for the long weekend.
