Indigenous Villages of Patagonia Tour

On this tour of the indigenous villages of Bariloche, we'll explore the history, culture, and customs of the Patagonians and Mapuches, focusing on the indigenous communities present before European colonization.

Description

Meet us at the Tourism Information Office in Civic Center Plaza as we begin our exploration of Patagonia's history.

During this Bariloche tour, we will uncover the origins of the Argentine region by examining the stories of its pre-European colonization inhabitants, including the Patagonians, Mapuches, and Canoeros.

We will address questions about these indigenous peoples and the customs that influenced their lives. Starting at the Civic Center, we will proceed to the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi, a site significant to these cultures, where we will explore their sculptures and discuss their symbolism.

Next, we will visit the Church of Nuestra Señora del Nahuel Huapi to understand the relationship between Patagonia's indigenous peoples and the Catholic Church. This will be followed by a trip to the Museum of Patagonia, which contains artifacts from the Patagonian, Mapuche, and canoeist cultures. Participants may opt to enter the museum with our guide to examine these artifacts closely.

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