SPRING/SUMMER 2017<br />
9th April<br />
E ASTER WEEK , SANTIAGO DE CHILE<br />
Semana Santa in this devoutly Catholic country is<br />
famed all across the world for its vibrant displays of<br />
religious tradition and colourful processions. Take<br />
advantage of the occasion by exploring the city<br />
without the crowds and make sure to be a bystander<br />
for the famed Cuasimodo procession on the Sunday<br />
after Semana Santa. The spectacle features white and<br />
gold-shrouded men on horseback, often accompanied<br />
by a priest sitting on a float covered in white lilies.<br />
Expect an over-the-top celebration of Christianity, as<br />
the city comes to a standstill. It’s the perfect<br />
representation of South America’s history and heritage,<br />
running alongside the vibrancy of modern-day Chile.<br />
