Abstract
JIMENEZ, Juan Francisco and ALIOTO, Sebastián L.. Recorredores de mundos: viajeros nativos en las pampas y Araucanía (siglos XVIII y XIX). Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2016, vol.52, n.1, pp.245-270. ISSN 0486-6525.
In America, traveler usually refers to a European or criollo who ventured through unknown and risky spaces, recording their experiences in writing. It is not conceived that there were traveling Indians, though there were a great number of native travelers who toured the pampas and the Andes in the XVIII and XIX centuries, and faced three main difficulties: the ones inherent to the landscape or physical environment, the changing conditions generated by the fragmentation of political scenarios, and the interactions with the super-natural beings. Through diverse edited and unedited sources, we analyze the conditions in which natives moved across these regions trying to procure safety and lodging, and building a network of social relationships that supported them along the way.
Keywords : travelers; indians; landscape; social relationships.
