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 the 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 through the stories of its pre-European colonization inhabitants, including the Patagonians, Mapuches, and Canoeros. We will examine the customs that shaped their lives and whether their ancestral roots persist today.

Beginning at the Civic Center, we will proceed to the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi, where we will encounter their sculptures and learn about their symbolism. Our journey continues to the Church of Nuestra Señora del Nahuel Huapi, exploring the link between Patagonia's indigenous peoples and the Catholic Church. We will also visit 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.

The tour concludes with a return to the departure point, after an hour and a half of historical insights.
