Abstract (English): The article addresses the tradition of pilgrimage in Chile, highlighting its long history and the way it has transformed over time. The sanctuaries, often located in remote places, attract pilgrims who walk long distances, although nowadays many choose to arrive by vehicle. Three main sanctuaries are analyzed: Andacollo, Lo Vásquez, and Yumbel, where it is observed that most pilgrims are men and women of various ages, with a relatively high level of education. The pilgrimage is presented as a family and community act, although it has been affected by modernization and a lack of ecclesiastical support. [Extracted from the article]
Abstract (Spanish): El artículo aborda la tradición de la peregrinación en Chile, destacando su larga historia y la forma en que se ha transformado con el tiempo. Los santuarios, a menudo ubicados en lugares remotos, atraen a peregrinos que caminan largas distancias, aunque hoy en día muchos optan por llegar en vehículos. Se analizan tres santuarios principales: Andacollo, Lo Vásquez y Yumbel, donde se observa que la mayoría de los peregrinos son hombres y mujeres de diversas edades, con un nivel educativo relativamente alto. La peregrinación se presenta como un acto familiar y comunitario, aunque se ha visto afectada por la modernización y la falta de apoyo eclesiástico. [Extracted from the article]
