Trevelin & Futaleufú Excursion

We'll depart from your hotel in Esquel at 2:30 pm. At 3:00 pm, we'll arrive in Trevelin, a Patagonian town developed in the second half of the 19th century due to the arrival of Welsh settlers to this area of Argentina.

During the guided tour of Trevelin, we'll learn about the history of these British immigrants. Their legacy is present in the Regional Museum, where we'll explore their way of life. We'll also visit chapels and Welsh-style homes built in the area.

We'll continue our excursion to Los Alerces National Park, a natural space bordering Chile. Here, we'll walk along the shore of Amutui Quimey Lake, which supplies resources to the Futaleufú Hydroelectric Complex, a large dam that regulates water flow.

After visiting the hydroelectric complex, we'll return to Trevelin, where you'll have an hour at leisure to enjoy a Welsh-style snack. Local cafés typically offer British menus with tea, pastries, toast with jam, and muffins.

Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Esquel, where we'll arrive at 7:30 pm.
