thumb | right | alt=Tecka | Tecka Tecka is a town in Chubut Province, Argentina, located south of Esquel and around west of Rawson along National Route 25. It is the seat of the Languiñeo Department.
== History == Tecka was a winter settlement of nomadic indigenous peoples, especially Tehuelche people; it was later an important Mapuche encampment. One of the principal sites of interest in Tecka is the tomb of the cacique Inacayal (1835–88). Though Inacayal died in La Plata after being imprisoned by the national government as part of the Conquest of the Desert, his remains, which are displayed in a glass case, were brought many years later to Tecka, his place of origin.
