Temuco, Chile - 20th December 2011

By: Leslie

Hello!

Today we went to the main craftmarket of Temuco to see some Mapuche handicrafts. There were many strange musical instruments, clothes and souvenirs... I liked these "kultrún", mapuche drums covered with leather :rolleyes:

These are "trapelakuchas", jewel pieces made of silver worn only by mapuche women who have important ranges in their community. :stare: They are very heavy!

Then we went to a shopping centre and saw a magnificent giant christmas tree! :D The whole place had christmas decoration and they were playing christmas carols in spanish, it was a lovely atmosphere!

When we came back home we sat in front of the christmas tree to admire the lights listening to christmas carols :rolleyes: It's really nice!
