She was born in San Rafael, Mendoza, although as a child she began to accompany her father on his journeys through the towns of northern Neuquén. She is a journalist and teacher. His curiosity and love for the culture and traditions of the area took shape so that years later he decided to settle in Chos Malal.
In the pandemic, like so many, he decided to turn to social networks to show the wonders of his places. In a short time it gathered many people. In conversations and from his YouTube channel he managed to take his audience on a cultural journey through the north of Neuquén, rescuing ancestral knowledge and unique experiences. “It is incredible to hear the experiences of the people who visit us. There is a before and after for tourists,” she says.
The natural diversity of the region, the rivers, hills, lakes, and its invaluable cultural wealth, not only enchant those who visit it, but become fundamental pieces for their neighbors.
In his meetings with rural residents and in his search to discover more, Barchiesi confesses that the answers are not the end of the road, but the beginning of new questions. This desire to learn and share has become his hallmark and he wants to transmit it to more people.
Celina places women who are pillars of cultural identity at the center of her story. From the pirquineras to the veranadoras. “These women sustain and enhance traditionscontributing not only to the historical legacy but also to the present and future of the region,” he indicates.
The north of Neuquén is a path that invites you to return again and again, not only for its landscapes and history, but for the living stories, the shared knowledge and the warm embrace of its people.

The area has been experiencing sustained growth in tourism and this is directly intertwined with its historical roots. The pandemic encouraged many people to explore new destinations and the north of Neuquén was one of the places that benefited.
Celina highlights the evolution of the region in recent times, both in infrastructure and in the promotion of its natural and historical treasures. “It is necessary to continue investing and betting on improvements, especially in terms of routes and roads to guarantee more optimal and safe access to the number of tourists who have visited us recently,” she says.
The region has a strong connection with the historical roots of Patagonia: “We have places that have witnessed the passage of native peoples, such as the hills, the ruins and the ancient roads that connect us with our deepest roots,” he says. Likewise, he emphasizes the possibility of sharing valuable time in the communities, where each visit becomes an enriching cultural exchange.
Fusion of flavors:
Gastronomy is also booming. “It is much more than a simple tasting of local dishes, it is a sensory journey that connects with the roots and identity of the region. Our cuisine is a fusion of ancestral flavors and traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation,” she emphasizes.
The richness of regional cuisine stands out, where native products and the fruits of the land take center stage in typical dishes. “The fresh trout caught in our rivers, the chivito from the north of Neuquén slowly cooked on the grill, the ñaco and the mote They are obligatory tastings,” he adds.
“Wild fruits and berries are the jewel of our pastries, whether in jams, sweets or desserts,” he comments.
“I assure you that the north of Neuquén is a one-way road. More than a destination, it is a path that invites you to return again and again, not only for its landscapes and its history, but for the living stories, the shared knowledge and the warm embrace of its people,” he concluded.
