History
Patagonia's history is rich and diverse, shaped by indigenous cultures and European exploration. The region was inhabited by indigenous groups such as the Mapuche and Tehuelche long before the arrival of Spanish explorers in the 16th century.
In the 19th century, Patagonia became a site for sheep farming, leading to significant European immigration. Today, it reflects a blend of cultures, with a focus on preserving its natural beauty and indigenous heritage, while also embracing modern tourism.
