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 indigenous communities prior to European colonization.

Description

Meet us at the Tourism Information Office in Civic Center Plaza to start our journey into Patagonia's history.

On this Bariloche tour, we will uncover the origins of this Argentine region by exploring the stories of its pre-European colonization inhabitants, including the Patagonians, Mapuches, and Canoeros. We will discuss their customs and whether their ancestral roots persist today.

Starting at Civic Center, we will proceed to Lake Nahuel Huapi, where we will view their sculptures and learn about their symbolism. Next, we will visit the Church of Nuestra Señora del Nahuel Huapi to explore the connection between Patagonia's indigenous peoples and the Catholic Church. We will continue to the Museum of Patagonia, which houses many artifacts from 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 starting point after an hour and a half of historical insights.
