The name Antumalal means "Corral of the Sun" in the Mapuche language. "The People of the Earth" is what the Mapuche call themselves. These native people were here in the south of Chile long before the conquistador Pedro de Valdivia discovered the region in the mid-1500s.

Spend a day visiting a Mapuche community, observing a festival, or watching skilled artisans create beautiful objects from wood, wool, silver, and lapis lazuli.
