Indigenous Villages of Patagonia Tour

On this tour of the indigenous villages of Bariloche, we'll learn about the history, culture, and customs of the Patagonians and Mapuches, and the communities in this region before European colonization.

Description

Meet us at the Tourism Information Office in Civic Center Plaza as we explore Patagonia's history.

On this Bariloche tour, we'll uncover the origins of this region by examining the stories of its pre-European colonization inhabitants, including the Patagonians, Mapuches, and Canoeros. This journey will reveal the intricacies of these pre-Hispanic tribes.

Who were these indigenous peoples, and what customs shaped their lives? We will discuss these questions as we travel through Bariloche, starting at the Civic Center and heading to the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi, a key location in their development. Here, we will encounter their sculptures and explore their symbolism, enhancing our understanding of their heritage.

We will visit the Church of Nuestra Señora del Nahuel Huapi to learn about the connection between the indigenous peoples of Patagonia and the Catholic Church. Following this, we will go to the Museum of Patagonia, which contains artifacts from the Patagonian, Mapuche, and canoeist cultures. You have the option to enter the museum with our guide for a closer look at these artifacts.

The tour will conclude as we return to the departure point after an hour and a half of historical exploration.
