Chupalla is a traditional Chilean hat with a wide brim, typically made of straw or felt. It’s commonly worn by Chilean cowboys and is an iconic symbol of Chilean culture. The hat is often decorated with colorful bands or ornaments and is both practical for protection from the sun and rain and symbolic of Chilean identity and heritage. Adorned with colorful bands or ornaments, each chupalla carries its own unique charm, reflecting the individuality and style of its wearer. Today, the chupalla remains an integral part of Chilean culture, worn during traditional festivities such as rodeos, folkloric dances, and national holidays.
