Nahuelpan

Nahuelpan belongs to the eastern foothills of the Patagonian Andes, near the valley of Esquel. The name is associated with the Mapuche-Tehuelche leader Francisco Nahuelpan and the community that later settled in this district. The landscape changes from mountain forest in the west to open steppe in the east. Indigenous families moved through the valleys and maintained connections across the mountains and the plains.
