Sports, games, music and more were all what neighbors and tourists could find in Playa Las Torpederas during last weekend, since Santiago 2023 Corporation organized an entertaining activity in this place to start up the engines for the Pan American and Parapan American Games next October.

The instance was carried out during Saturday and Sunday, February 11th and 12th and consisted of face painting, inflatable games for kids, also sporting spaces such as volleyball and paddleball, with the objective of giving importance to the social role of sports and to promote what will be the largest multisport event organized by Chile in its history.

Besides, both days also featured the participation of the Afro-descendant music group Tumberos del Puerto and the folk singer Carmen Lienqueo, who created a beautiful atmosphere for this event. Another important milestone in the countdown to Santiago 2023. Lienqueo was happy to be part of the show declaring that “music and sport are clearly related because both come from the same passion to want to be a better human being, a personal challenge".
