Location of present-day Mapuche communities in Argentina.
Puelmapu is the traditional Mapuche territory located east of the Andes. It covers much of Patagonia and the Pampas. Since the Conquest of the Desert (1878–1885) Puelmapu is de facto[citation needed] part of Argentina. It is a theater of the Mapuche conflict.[1]
