The Municipality of Puerto Varas, in leading collaboration with YouMiles Latin America, has announced a dazzling drone show to welcome the New Year. The event, which will take place on Calle Tecada Santa Rosa a few minutes before midnight on December 31, 2023, promises to be a visually impressive celebration that will mark a milestone in New Year celebrations in the region.
The show, titled “Nature and Imaginary of Puerto Varas,” will feature a fleet of 120 Umiles acrobatic drones that will fly over the city’s sky over the shores of Lake Llanquihue. Over 10,000 people are expected to attend the 15-minute event, which promises not only a visual feast but also a showcase of innovation and respect for the environment.
The choice of drones instead of traditional pyrotechnics is a clear example of the municipality and UMILES Latin America’s commitment to more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. The decision underlines the focus on clean technologies and inclusive shows, a global trend in which Chile positions itself as a leader in South America.


Diego Mendoza, Founding Partner of UMILES Latin America, highlights the importance of these shows as a revolution in nighttime entertainment. Additionally, starting at 11:15 p.m., attendees will be able to enjoy various musical groups and shows, including a performance by Sonora Amanecer.
UMILES Latin America uses technology from UMILES Group, a leader in unmanned aircraft in Europe. In the Drone Light Show, each drone is equipped with high-intensity LED lights that coordinate with music and special effects to create synchronized choreography, providing a unique visual experience in the night sky.
The adoption of this technology represents not only progress in terms of great performance, but also a commitment to the environment and social inclusion. Drones provide an alternative to traditional pyrotechnics, reducing light and noise pollution, thereby benefiting people with ASD, children, animals, and the natural environment.
The event places Chile at the forefront of the global trend of drone shows, following in the footsteps of countries such as China, Europe, the United States and the United Arab Emirates, which have already adopted this technology in their major festivals.
