The story

Festival de la Lana in Santiago/San Pedro de Atacama/Coyhaique

Festival de la Lana is a single touring Chilean textile and wool-craft festival, created in 2012, that runs across three sites within a single year: Santiago in April, San Pedro de Atacama in September, a first for that location added in recent years, and Coyhaique in December. Each leg showcases regional weaving traditions, from Andean altiplano techniques to Patagonian sheep-wool craft, through stands, exhibitors and hands-on workshops.

Festival de la Lana is a single touring textile and wool-craft festival, not three separate events despite its slug listing Santiago, San Pedro de Atacama and Coyhaique together.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's real distinction is its geographic ambition: rather than staying fixed in one city, Festival de la Lana deliberately connects Chile's very different wool and textile traditions, Andean cord and weaving techniques near San Pedro de Atacama, central Chilean craft in Santiago, and Patagonian sheep-farming wool culture in Coyhaique, into a single annual program spread across the year

02

The mystery stays covered

Workshops let visitors try techniques directly, from hand spinning to botanical fabric printing to Andean cord-making, rather than only browsing finished pieces

03

The city starts moving

Because each leg runs at a different time and in a genuinely different climate and craft tradition, attending more than one site in a single year offers a rare, connected view of Chile's textile geography from desert to Patagonia
