People, traditions, and landscapes form a magical reality in the archaic HispanicIndigenous colonial world of central Chile. It is hidden in the folds of time, but can fleetingly appear before the eyes of an attentive observer... Like the story of the "Best chickpea in the world" in Pumanque, the "Brave roosters" in Yope, and the "Threshing with a loose mare" in Los Robles de Lolol.
