I told you that the Mapuche aboriginal tribe was the original owner of the territory. Despite the ethnical cleansing done by the white men they don't disappeared. No way.
They still being there, now trying to survive in a modern world that they barely understand.
Here you can find some mapuche women selling they handcrafts (precious indeed) or their traditional tapestry, like the woman of the pic beside.
This masterworks can be cheap or expensive for your wallet, but because we should maintain the respect to this pride people, don't bargain.
Just ask for the price and pay. Or not.
But don't bargain. Please
What to buy: Tapestry, pottery, some jewels.

STRANGE MARRIAGE OF SNOW AND FIRE
Here everythings are rares, strange, bizarre. The Volcano Copahue (2.400 mts a.s.l.) and the Lake Caviahue are located at 320 kilometers at the NW of the capitol city of Neuquén, just on the border......
Very near Copahue is Caviahue. In winter you can go skiing, and in summer you can do some nautic activities and fly fishing.
