Gaiman + Trelew Day Trip

Discover a small piece of Wales in Argentina when you take this fantastic tour of Gaiman. You will find out why the language, customs, and traditions of the Welsh people are still preserved today in this beautiful corner of South America.

Day Trip Details

After setting off from your hotel in Puerto Madryn, we'll begin our day trip by heading to Gaiman, one of the towns with the largest Welsh presence in South America. In this municipality, on the banks of the Chubut River, we'll visit the first Welsh house: a dwelling built in 1874.

We'll continue discovering the city's past as we explore its main square, with its carved trees and the irrigation canal. We'll also observe the Welsh legacy in the railway tunnel and in the old chapels built by the settlers after their arrival from across the Atlantic.

Afterwards, we'll head to a traditional establishment in Gaiman for those who wish to enjoy a typical tea with Welsh cakes.

Finally, we'll visit Trelew, whose name is also more Welsh than Argentine. We will learn about this during the tour. In Trelew, we'll visit the Egidio Feruglio Paleontological Museum (entrance fee not included), featuring an exhibition of dinosaur fossils. From Trelew, we'll return to your hotel in Puerto Madryn.
