Centro de Artesanías del Chaco
Centro de Artesanías
A small centre selling handicrafts from the Chaco's Indigenous peoples, with wood carvings and weaving from the Nivaclé, Enlhet and other groups.
Besides the Mennonite settlers, the central Chaco is home to Indigenous peoples including the Nivaclé, Enlhet and Ayoreo. The crafts centre sells their Palo Santo wood carvings, caraguatá fibre woven bags, hammocks and beaded jewellery at fair prices, with the proceeds going directly to the communities. It is located around the Memorial Park in the town centre, and opening hours vary.
