The Guarda Pampa (People of the Earth) was originally created by the aboriginal people of Argentinian and Chilean Patagonia. This symmetric
design symbolizes the reflection of the Andes Mountains in the lakes of the
region. The Guarda Pampa, adopted and made iconic by the Argentine gauchos, has
become a design that is woven into the fabric of Argentine and Chilean culture – from the flat pampas
regions to the urban cities to the Andes Mountains.
Many designs, originally of Mataco and Mapuche origin, are commonly seen in gaucho's berets. Hard to find, even in Argentina and Chile, South Pacific Berets now stocks a small number of boinas guarda pampa.
The classic cotton boina Tolosa comes in many colour options with the guarda pampa design; the boinas Arandú are available in both the guarda pampa and a traditional Mapuche Aboriginal design.
