Opening Day of America in Bolivia and Chile

Columbus Day, Cultural Diversity Day, Meeting of Two Worlds Day, etc. These are the names of the Celebration of the Discovery of the Americas that is celebrated annually in Latin America on October 12, depending on the perception that each country has of the historical facts.

In Chile they adopted the celebration and called it "The Day of the Discovery of Two Worlds" in March 2000 under the authorization of President Eduardo Frey Ruiz-Tagler.

Furthermore, in Latin America, the day is also a symbol of division, countries like Peru do not have a public holiday and this day is called the Day of Dialogue between Indigenous Peoples and Cultures. Furthermore, they had a similar vision in Bolivia, where they spoke about the “Day of Decolonization in the multinational nation of Bolivia”.
