Culture-Chile

Culture of Chile // Chile's culture is very  interesting history. Historically its geographical isolation and remoteness has played a key role.Since colonial times the Chilean culture has been a mix of Spanish colonial elements and indigenous culture.Traditional Chilean culture is of rurol and agrarian origin where horsemen are the most emblematic symbol. While Chile has a geograficial diverse territory the lifestyle of the Central Chile have not been possible everywhere and different customs exists towards the north and south of Chile. To this it must added that while some regions of Chile have very strong indigenous heritage such as Arocania traditions, Easter islands and Aracay parliticall region. Some regions lacks considerable indigenous communities and a few other regions have noteworthy non-Spanish Europen immigrant heritage. The mainstream Chilean culture that emanates from the historical core of central Chile is of predominant meditarion climate (as reflected in the food) rural criole and metizos origin. Media coverage have since the 1990s shown the existence of youth sub cultuture in the major cities, particularly Santiogo. //
