| Ethnoturism
- Workshops to learn more of the Mapuche culture |
A
different form of tourism is to learn ancient technics from
the local indian culture of our region. Until the end of the
19th century, the Mapuches struggled to control their territory
from the advances of the western pioneers. Today they still
keep alive several of their traditions that we can learn in
interesting and fun workshops.
