Dia de la Fonda

The temporary party halls that spring up across Chile for the dieciocho, decorated with branches, flags, and lights. Inside: empanadas, anticuchos, chicha, cueca, and every Chilean who can stand. The fonda is the living room of the patria, and the door is always open.

Dia de la Ramada

The rustic cousin of the fonda. If the fonda is the formal living room, the ramada is the backyard party. Branch walls, dirt floor, a band playing cueca, and chicha served in a cup made of a dried gourd. The ramada is where the real dieciocho happens and where the huasos feel most at home.
