One of the best NYE celebrations in the world

The New Year's Eve event in Valparaso, a coastal community, is gradually establishing a reputation throughout the world. Everyone makes their way up the city's hills, where they can enjoy the stunning fireworks show that lights up the bay at the beginning of every new year.

The Aymara, Quechua, Rapa Nui, and Mapuche nations of Chile's indigenous peoples each adhere to their own ancient calendar. On the evening of June 24, the winter solstice marks the start of their new year. After the harvest, the earth needs to relax, get ready for planting, and regain her fertility.

The indigenous tribes give thanks to Nature in this fresh cycle of life. The most well-known of these is the Mapuche New Year event. We Tripantu, which means "the sun's fresh turn" or "the return of the sun," is the name of the object. It is observed in Santiago on Cerro Santa and in the rural areas of southern Chile, right in Temuco's main square.
