Hello guys. today  I will talk about a important tradition for me and my family,  this is a walk for the Andacollo City each year, the first sunday of october, and 26th december.

The walk is because of the Catholic party of  the Virgin Of Andacollo, in Andacollo Village, in the north,  Coquimbo Region to the mountain range, 500 km of Santiago, where I live. 

This walk or procession is very important for me and my family, specially for my grandparents, because they have visitted the virgin each year since 1980 approximatelly, and they are devotees of Maria Mother of Andacollo. 

I visit the procession since I was 2 months old.

Really, this walk is a beautiful procession. It is a party, where the people take the virgin out of the biggest church of Andacollo Village. This is the ¨Basílica Menor¨, after, the virgin is walked around the small town, and the people of this zone and devotes follow the the procession.

In this party or procession the ¨Bailes Chinos¨ exists. These are typical of the zone and our forklore, while many people of the zone plays drums, and various instruments.

The walk takes 1 or 2 hours aproximatelly and is very tired for the old persons and children, but is a unforgettable experience.
