    ► The legend of La Llorona I like because it gives us a lot of mystery entertainment and also to know the paranormal, which are hidden in parallel dimensions. They are also transferred through oral histories from generation to generation by adding each according to their different cultural events taking place in history.

    my favorite legend is La Virgen del Carmen de la Tirana, because is a tragic love story, as we like to all. The story is about Ñusta, a Inca princess that who lived in the north of our country, but when in peru domains, yet. She was very feared and respected, and her subject called LA TIRANA. One day her subjects found a portuguese soldier, and took him. When LA TIRANA saw him, she fell in love and he, too. They decided to escape and convert to Christianity, his subjects were found and killed them in LA PAMPA DEL TAMARUGAL. Now in this place there a village and in june 16 the carnaval is celebrated in honor of LA TIRANA and her love.

    My favorite is the legend of "La Llorona" because I believe the story that seems very real, because I believe that what happens in this legend also has seen in society today, as there are fathers or mothers that alcohol or drugs do harm to their children.

    My favorite leyend is The Lola, legend originating in Antofagasta but known by a wide geographical area.

    The Lola sowed illusions and disappointments in men, and much envy among women. One day he met a man I fell in love, but he loved another woman and she, feeling displaced, became a terrible jealous. That was how, one night, went barefoot and silent to the room where slept the man and killed him with a dagger. Then he fled to the hills, screaming and yelling. At the time he returned to the village, a victim of the madness, just knowing laugh, until he died. Since then Lola and her vengeful spirit roam the hills.

    My favorite legend is " La Añañuca " since he speaks about since two young women they fight to be united without importing the situations or problems that could manage to have.
    Only they fight for the real love.

    My favorite legend is "Juan Soldado" since it talks about the story of a young man that fell in love with the daughter of a chief of La Serena. The story said that the chief was going to kill the couple and then he would burn the city, but his fury got on the city and it made it to disappear.

    I find it interesting because it is a story of love and mystery. Also, it says that the city appears only when one person is near the place where they lived. I like because is a legend of our city.

    The legend that is more interested in "La Llorona", since this story is very mysterious, because it contains many versions, plus the actual meeting this legend, as it reflects some stories of our society.

    I don't know many legends, but I like this that is called "La llorona", because it is very scary... It is about a woman who lost her children a long time ago, and now she's crying everywhere because she miss them and thinks that every kid is her son/daughter.

    the story that I like is that of the cave-tue tue.. because is realistic type is interesting because who knows if I will be true but because interest in the fact that it is different from other birds is that they are supposed witch and other stories are not of this type are good I like it for that fact and it is creepy if you stop to think and you can find them without realizing it at any time.

    My favourite legend is the caleuche because it's Chilean and it's about a boat that sails and roams the seas of Chiloé and the channels of the south. I like much the sea but at the same time i'm afraid the boat to sail the seas in the night and must be scary and spooky to see ghosts.
