Ponchos began as an all-weather garment.Mapuche people come from the Andes Mountains of South America who once covered vast territory of modern day Argentina and Chile. Because of high elevations, cold weather, and general conditions, the Mapuche wore ponchos as all-purpose outerwear.
Some controversy exists about the origin of ponchos, but the Mapuche are known to be the ones who shared their amazing garment with the rest of Latin America, and with their Spanish conquerors.
The word “poncho” comes, most likely, from the language of the Quechua people (“punchu”) or the Mapudungun (“pontro”).
