The Nivacle community leaders extend a warm welcome to all who are interested in their culture and traditions. Visitors are invited to view a wide range of handicrafts in the Mensajero, and to contact community leaders if they would like to visit their township, and see local crafts being produced.
The Chaco is beautiful, and Filadelfia is an attractive and comfortable stop for the enquiring traveller. Both Mennonite and Nivacle communities have singular cultures that are well worth exploring.
The Mennonites are readily contacted via the Museo Unger (on Hindenburg) and the library. And the Hotel Florida shows an hour-long professional video on Mennonite history.
