Myths and Legends from Chile [Eighth Grade]


Students:

 From what we have read so far, it's time to talk about myths and legends that you know. They could be part of our culture or from abroad. Can you mention some well-known Chilean Myths or Legends?   Did you see something unfamiliar or that it could possible be a myth / legend? Include not only monsters or creatures but natural phenomenon or origins of something as well.

 Leave your comment below and post in at least 50 words.

Best,

  1. hi teacher.
    I believe the myths and legends of chile are very interesting because it talks about things in a different reality and time, moreover, we could say that the best known throughout the world is the caleuche , no more to say .

  5. Hello teacher
    I know several myths and legends as the Caleuche, the Pincoya, or the Millalobo, however, I never seen something that is considered a legend and I do not think that you can see one, since the legends and myths come from the imagination of someone, therefore, the legends and myths are false.

  7. Hello teacher. I do not know many Chilean myths except the caleuche, the pincoya and the trauco. I do not believe that the myths and legends are royal, due to the fact that the myths are created by the imagination of some person.

  9. Teacher Hello .
    I think That the myths and legends are not credible , Because They based on stories of people , That is , what people see or listen . I know three leyends are " The Pincoya " "The Trauco " and " The Añañuca " , however , are not credible. They are not to my taste . I dont know myths of Chile, and i have not Happened Until the moment nothing supernatural .
    Goodbye.

  11. Hi teacher

    I know a lot of myth and legend, but I know the trauco, the Pincoya and caleuche. Do not believe the myths and legends are real, because the myths are created by someone based on stories, that is, what people see or hear. My not nothing supernatural happened to me.

    Goodbye.

  13. Dear teacher,
    I think that the mhyts and legends are fantastic, and some are very fun. However, I don't believe in this, because, are very unreal
    the well-known legends and myths in chile are The Pincoya, the caleuche,The three Pascualas, the alicanto and others.
    I've never had a strange event or natural phenomenon, as to call it a myth or legend, as I said do not believe this.

  15. Hi teacher,
    I know many myths and legends, such as trauco, the Pincoya, blonde kennedy avenue. Actually I have not seen anything strange, supernatural or something like a legend or myth, and I think the legends and myths are false, since they come from the imagination of a person, and do not think there monsters or ghosts.
    Goodbye.

  18. Hello teacher in my opinion the myths and the legends in Chile are the best in the whole world. Though sometimes I think that are too false because they do not give conclusions mas royal though equal between all the legends, my favorite is that of the caleuche, though I do not believe that it is very royal I feel that it is very brilliant that a ship ghost takes you

  19. In our country there are many such legends as: (the trauco, the pincoya, Trentrén and Caicaivilu, the caleuche etc ...) I do not believe in the legends but I think that it is the imagination of the man who cheats us and makes us be thinking things and about walking fearful for certain legends

  22. Hello Teacher
    I don't know much about Chilean myths and legends but i heard some like the Trauco, the Caleuche and the Pincoya i find these myths to be really interesting and fun to tell, i have not seen anything out of the ordinary because these myths are fake they are just there to entertain people but that is my opinion.

  24. In my opinion the myths is best because the legends are characteres unreal, my favorite myth is Pincoya, Caleuche and trauco and the legends are tirana del tamarugal.

  25. hello teacher
    I know myths and legends as: the pincoya, the caleuche, the trauco. I've never seen any of them and do not think because I do not know a witness and there is no evidence confirming it. Myths and legends cause me a little curiosity but however is that there are no.

    bye

  26. Hi teacher
    There was a legend about a thing that killed diferent animals. The myth started in Puerto Rico in the year 1995, and it arrived to Chile after that. The creature is called "chupacabras", and it killed domestic animals, especially goats. The creature sucked the blood of the animals untill it killed them.
