Camila Zenteno Vargas has been chosen as Santa Cruz’s new queen after winning 43.68% of the vote.
The 25-year-old business administration graduate, who also holds a diploma in higher education, will represent Santa Cruz and serve as an ambassador for its customs and traditions.
Zenteno said she sees the title as more than a ceremonial role. “I would love to be Queen of Santa Cruz so I can convey my Santa Cruz traditions, first by living them and sharing them with pride,” she said. “I believe it is not enough to talk about our customs. We have to know them, enjoy them and make new generations fall in love with them too.”
Her official presentation is scheduled for a flag-raising ceremony at Plaza 24 de Septiembre, marking the start of her new role.
