There are
around 15.000 aymaras people living in the metropolitan area of Santiago. Most
of them come from the northern altiplano, after the big cooper mines took their
water. The Andean people celebrate each
year the summer and winter solstice. The aymaras of Santiago celebrate both
ceremonies in the Pucara de Chena site, after the Chilean goberment declared
the site us a ceremonial park for the indigenous people.
The Andean new
year, 21 of June 2012, all people, aymaras, quechuas and others are invited
with their families to celebrate another solstice, with Andean music, rituals
and mead, from 10 to 17 hours.
There will be free buses starting from Baquedano
square at 10, 11 and 12 hours.
The ceremonial
park of Chena is located 20 km south of Santiago, front of San Bernardo city.
If you go through the Panamericana highway you will see a signal in the 20 km.
Tray to go. You will have a nice moment.
The Aymara culture is very interesting. thank you for the information,I hope someday know it :)
