Trip to Chiloe

When I was little I went on a trip to Chiloe, our family went to visit the family of my aunt, she had four sons, all of them were boys. I remebered that I had eight years old approximately , my cousins were older than me, they had about twenty years old, so they don’t talk very much with me. They waited us with the typical “curanto”, wich one if you don’t know is a typical food of that place, it is a kind of mix of shellfishes, sausage, meat, potatos, leaf.

“chapalele”. It prepares on a hole in the ground and it covers with Nalca.

                                                                            

We went  to visit a lot of wonderful places like the patrimonial churches, Chonchi, Ancud, Castro. We went to a store, they selled a lot of interesting locality products like Chilote garlic, camote, Fishes, Shell fish, meat, etc.

We stay to the “fiesta del cordero chilote” wich was celebrated on  january 19 th, in Achao. This celebration is about the traditions of Chiloe, you can watch lambs, Shearing them, play with them, and also eat them. I felt very sorry for them, cause they were a kind of show for us and later we just eated them. However the celebration seemed very funny , with the exception of the above, cause it was an enriching experience.
