Tehuelches is the collective name of the native tribes of Patagonia. They are also called Patagonians.

It is possible that the stories of the early European explorers about the Patagones, a race of giants in South America, are based on the Tehuelches.

Language

The Tehuelche speak Tehuelche, a Chon language.
