关于巴塔哥尼亚人资料极少，甚至比矮黑人的资料还要少！现在巴塔哥尼亚中纯种的最高大的部落已经灭绝了，只有混血人仍生活在智利和阿根廷南部

巴塔哥尼亚人和西班牙人对比

早期可能有些夸大了，说有几米高，后来修正为1米98，也许比较可靠。
这是最早对他们的描述：
"One day we suddenly saw a naked man of giant stature on the shore of the port, dancing, singing, and throwing dust on his head. The captain-general[i.e., Magellan] sent one of our men to the giant so that he might perform the same actions as a sign of peace. Having done that, the man led the giant to an islet where the captain-general was waiting. When the giant was in the captain-general's and our presence he marveled greatly, and made signs with one finger raised upward, believing that we had come from the sky. He was so tall that we reached only to his waist, and he was well proportioned..."

估计是因为他们穿的鞋子很大，也许开始是根据他们的脚印估计身高的。他们最有可能是现在的特维尔切人，目前有2万7000多人，都在阿根廷，智利的已经没有了。
他们是渔猎游牧部落，主要猎物是南美原驼，以及美洲鸵鸟。

20大世界著名的造假骗局。巴塔哥尼亚巨人是其中一个。1766年，一艘“海豚环绕全球”号的船员们传播一个谣言，声称他们遇到了2.8米高的巨人巴塔哥尼亚部落。最终约翰·拜伦揭穿了谣言，说他遇到了所说的部落，但最高的成员仅为2米”。

这个很好验证的，遗骨都还在
