Juan Luis Trejo

Biography Trejo was born in 1948, to Luis Trejo and Yolanda Canessa. He had two siblings, Yolanda and Raúl.

In 1990, with the return of democracy in Chile, he was appointed mayor by Patricio Aylwin, who was to reinstate democratic mayoral elections within two years.

In 1991, he successfully arranged the participation of the band Faith No More in the Viña del Mar Festival, at the request of his son, and under the management of Fernando Meza, the then artistic organizer of that Latin festival.

On August 26, 1991, he renounced to his office of mayor. A year later, Trejo was elected as councilman of Viña Del Mar, an office where he was re-elected in 1996.

In Vina, an avenue was named after him. It borders the Sausalito Lagoon.
