Sumario:The aim of this paper is to analyze the feminine otherness in travel chronicles of Plus Ultra (PU). There, indigenous women appear in different modalities, from the idealized “Indian”, appropiated by the discourse of the nation, to the “wild woman”, narrated in terms of animalization. The woman-as-other is configured as the counterpart of a central femininity that results from multiple appropriations of the model of “modern woman”. This paper is divided into two parts: in the first instance, the conformation in PU of an image of modern woman will be investigated. In the second part, the representation of the woman-other in two travel chronicles with inhabitants of the indigenous communities of Argentina and Chile.
