We tripantu


my favorite festivity is "We tripantu or Wüñoy Tripantu, it  is Mapuche celebration and  it is held in the winter solscite (the day more short of the year in the southern hemisphere) between June 21 and 24.


The Wetripantu is celebrated in the Copihues toun, and is a popular and family  festivity with all  neighborhood association. It is a carnival that goes across the district with people wering different costumes and playing diverse instruments.

This festivity have a roots in the Mapuche culture. This date is important for them, because it is the end of the annual cycle of Earth and the begnning of the new cycle.

For the occidental culture, the wetripantu is like a the "new year", but the different between this is the significance.
The wetripantu is a austeriry celebration. Is a time before of the to get light where the universe and nature are in armony.

I like this Celebration because I can see to my friends and my family, and spend a good time.

my life in sociology

Before going to the univer sity of Chile, I went to university of santiago. In that place I met a lot of people, but the career (engineering) was very boring for me.  when I decided to study sociology, I was interested in the social science , because, the social science was an analityc tool, and this one can give me other visions about the life in general.  This career surpirses me, because, in the beginning I didn´t wanna go to the university, because the universitary system is very stressful, and when I was studying I didn´t have time to do sports.
