# Peregrinaciones

_Obras Completas Vol. XII_

By Rubén Darío.

"Peregrinaciones" by Rubén Darío is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work captures the author's observations and reflections during a visit to the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, showcasing the city and its artistic and architectural marvels. The narrative is rich with descriptions, highlighting the vibrancy of the event and the cultural confluence that characterizes Paris. The opening of "Peregrinaciones" immerses the reader in the bustling atmosphere of Paris as preparations for the grand exposition unfold. Darío vividly describes the chaos and beauty of the city's architecture, comparing it to a mythical vision seen from the heights of the Eiffel Tower. As multitudes from diverse backgrounds converge upon the city, he reflects on the significance of the fair in celebrating human creativity and progress. The prose is ornate and lyrical, emphasizing the joys of art and culture while setting the stage for the journey through the exhibition that follows.
