Moquehue

Moquehue is a town in the Aluminé department, in the province of Neuquén, Argentina.

The Maqui is a tree that bears a fruit that is highly prized by indigenous cultures, but it is not often seen in the Villa Pehuenia area.

It is believed that the region that Villa Pehuenia and Moquehue occupy today has been populated for 10 thousand years.

At that time, the valley was home to numerous hunting and gathering peoples who gave rise to the Pehuenche culture.

Further back in time, Alejandro Arce, rancher from Necochea and one of the first settlers of Pehuenia, appeared.
