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 before European colonization.

Description

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

This Bariloche tour uncovers the origins of this Argentine region, focusing on the pre-European colonization inhabitants like the Patagonians, Mapuches, and Canoeros. We will examine the customs and lives of these pre-Hispanic tribes and discuss whether their ancestral roots persist today.

Starting at the Civic Center, we will travel to the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi, where we will encounter sculptures that are significant to these cultures. We will discuss their symbolism and significance to enhance 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. Our next stop will be the Museum of Patagonia, which houses artifacts from the Patagonian, Mapuche, and canoeist cultures. Participants will 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 filled with historical insights.
