It is possible to find innumerable investigations at the local level, but almost nil those related to the province of Santa Cruz and particularly Los Antiguos. This town is located 993 km NW of Rio Gallegos, with one of the lowest values ​​in number of inhabitants. This work is part of the work plan of the student of the Degree in Geography Jacquelina Diaz Viegas as a member of Research Project 29 A / 427-1 “The geography of religions in the municipal ejido of Rio Gallegos in 2018. Cultural Geography in the Southern Andean Patagonia”. In this case, a progress status is presented. Its objective is to identify the territorial influence of the Roman Apostolic Catholic religion in the Ancients within the framework of cultural Geography and the Geography of religions.
