Likewise, that is why, in the ritual aspect, Mapuche religiosity is not expressed through temples or through the construction of other sacred buildings. On the contrary, it is expressed through intimate contact with nature, ''[[:es:Ngen|Ngen]]'', and the Earth represented by [[:es:Ñuke_Mapu|Ñuke Mapu]].

The only construction permitted is the [[:es:Rewe|''rewe'']], a trunk of canelo on which steps have been carved that allow the officiant, either the [[:es:Machi|''Machi'']] or the [[:es:Ngenpin|''Ngenpin'']], to climb to its summit.
