La Pastera Museo de Che

Today the building houses a small but interesting museum, with information in English and Spanish and some rare footage of Che's life.

Museo de la Patagonia

This small museum highlights the social and geological history of northern Patagonia through displays of Indian and gaucho artifacts and exhibits on regional flora and fauna. The stories of the Mapuche and the Conquista del Desierto (Conquest of the Desert) are told in detail.

Museo Primeros Pobladores

Sitting quietly next to the local tourist office, this pioneers' museum occupies the tiny lodge that once served as San Martín's original city-council building. It's dedicated mainly to Mapuche ceramics and weavings, though a collection of 13,000-year-old tools and fossils gives an idea of prehistoric life in the region.
