1. The Museum of Pre-Columbian Art of Chile has uploaded to its site sheets with typical costumes of our native peoples that you can print and cut out. In addition, a doll has been incorporated into these sheets so that you can try on the clothes. Without a doubt, this is a great way to get closer to these ancestral and interesting Chilean cultures. Remember that the clothing for them is a symbol of identity, prestige and authority.

2. Claudio Gay's Pinta and Calca: Chilean flora and fauna are truly admirable and this was evidenced by the French naturalist and historian, Claudio Gay. The diverse species that make them up astonish anyone.
