#3 Authentic Mapuche gifts

The Mapuche people, the largest indigenous group in Southern Chile, are renowned for their arts and crafts. They have been producing textiles since pre-Hispanic times, and these textiles played a vital role as trade items throughout the 20th century.

These items are truly unique, as they are all handmade from 100% wool. They’re not only excellent gifts from Chile but also contribute to supporting the craftsmanship of Mapuche women.

Plus, each of their products includes tags that detail the production process and feature a photo of the woman responsible for creating them. They even come with a QR code that allows you to watch a video showcasing the entire ‘from sheep to finish’ process.

If they happen to be sold out, don’t forget to explore their shop, where you’ll find a wide range of high-quality handmade items.

Alright, if you are looking for the best Chilean gifts for people who love Chile, a trip to Chile is the best gift you can get.

But if the recipient already has a trip planned to Chile (which is not unlikely for people who love Chile), you could also check out Tinggly for fun day trips or tours to gift.

And if you are not sure what type of activity the recipient would like, go for the Tinggly gift card which gives the recipient access to Tinggly’s tours across the world.
