Things I absolutely love about Chile: That people dress up as Satan and go dance for 10 straight days in the desert.
Yeah, for real. But don’t get it twisted — they do it to honor the Virgin of Carmen.
We might be intense, but we’re not satanic.
Since I’m way too much of an atheist and a heretic to explain this properly, I invited Marcelo Puch to talk about the biggest religious festival in all of Chile:
La fiesta de La Tirana.
What do you need to bring?
How are you expected to behave?
(Spoiler: no showing up drunk or naked.) That’s just how we roll.
