“…There are focuses of multiculturalism and syncretic expressions, which can be observed, for instance, in religious festivities (Gavilán and Carrasco 2009) and traditional medicine practices (Madaleno and Delatorre-Herrera 2013), which incorporate elements of the indigenous original population, called Aymara. The city located in the center, Santiago, corresponds to the capital of Chile, Santiago, characterized by a great productive dynamism and the exclusion of broad territorial sectors and social groups (Fuentes and Sierralta 2004); along with a high economic performance and average social indicators, the city shows marked socioeconomic segregation and inequalities between municipalities in terms of per capita income, education quality, proportion of new building investment (Rodríguez and Winchester 2001), and mortality (Sánchez and Albala 2004). European countries exhibit a higher proportion of immigrant population (Vásquez-De Kartzow 2009), but growing waves of migration from other Latin American countries to Chile have occurred since the 1990s (Tijoux 2013), having the capital as the priority place of settlement, reaching 2 % of the population (Margarit Segura and Bijit Abde 2014).…”
