The term "Puelche" refers to a group of indigenous people from the southern regions of Chile and Argentina. They are part of the larger Mapuche culture and are known for their traditional lifestyle, which includes hunting, fishing, and gathering. The Puelche people historically inhabited the areas around the Andes mountains and the Patagonian region. Puelche society is characterized by its rich oral traditions and connection to the land. They have a deep respect for nature and often engage in practices that reflect their spiritual beliefs. Today, efforts are being made to preserve their cultural heritage and promote awareness of their history and contributions.
