Popular festivals are part of the intangible heritage of a community, and a tourist product that reflects the culture and the tradition of the different regions, in which all the cultural expressions are included as a reminder of events, rituals and customs.

They represent the expressions of memory and collective life, essential for the creation of social bonds and the definition of identity.
This means that collective works are orally transmitted, which is why they tend to change as time passes by, by means of a communal recreational process.

Given its ephemeral nature, this heritage is highly vulnerable. Therefore, popular festivals are a tourist attraction that requires a special consideration for its development.

It is difficult to specify the origin of these celebrations. Generally when an event generates great satisfaction, festivals are organized to express these positive emotions joyfully. The development of this type of events contributes to the preservation and validation of the local identity, the folklore, and the historical and artistic resources of a community, and the relationship of people with this community.

Neuquén (in mapuche language, “daring, and vehement”) has strong cultural roots on the millenarian mapuche tradition (mapu – land, che – people).

Presently many mapuche communities live in Neuquén territory, especially in Patagonia of Lakes, and they give value to their vision of the world and their customs inviting people to visit their lands and share their traditions.

This tradition is reflected on each everyday life expression of these communities. Religion, music, handicrafts and cooking keep the tradition of these people alive.
In the course of time, the mapuche people have kept the identity of their products. At present, craftsmen mainly work on weaving and wood carving and all the handicrafts are made using techniques that have been passed from generation to generation.
In the town of Villa Pehuenia, the mapuche Puel community has been running successfully, and for several years, the Batea Mahuida Snow Park.
