FIESTA SAN PEDRO

This festival is named after the patron saint and founder of the Catholic Church, San Pedro is also the founder of the Atacama village that bears his name. If the festival takes place in the village of San Pedro de Atacama where dances, costumes and music are honoured, it also takes place in the coastal towns of the country where fishermen pay homage to the patron saint San Pedro, patron saint of fishermen. The atmosphere is undoubtedly there and the streets, crossed by drums and folkloric dances, do not lack animation.
