Abstract

Salvador Allende's victory in 1970 was not only a determining event in the Chilean national context, but also had a global echo, transforming the incipient experiment that sought to create a democratic pathway to socialism into an event that captured the attention of militants from all over the world. Within this captive audience, three members of the US New Left, linked to the Yippie movement and disillusioned with the state of their struggles at home, decided to embark on a journey to experience the new Chile firsthand. Our article reconstructs this trip, with the aim of showing the particular interactions that each of the travelers had with the Chilean reality: the characteristics and limits of the Popular Unity project, culture as a constituent element of the project of change and the parallel development of the youth counterculture.
