Chubut Valley Trip

We will depart from your hotel in Puerto Madryn to Rawson. Upon arrival at the capital of Chubut province, those interested can board a boat for a dolphin-watching cruise to see marine animals in the southern Atlantic. After the cruise, we will proceed to Playa Union, where you can enjoy free time for refreshments and views before heading to the Chubut River valley.

In Gaiman, you can explore the main streets to uncover the strong presence of Welsh legacy. The town’s cultural heritage is evident in landmarks like the old railway station and colonial-style housing from the late 19th century. Before departing, we will visit a traditional teahouse to sample Welsh tea and biscuits.

Our final stop is Trewlew, a town that grew after the construction of the Central Chubut Railway, connecting the valley to Puerto Madryn. Learn about the significance of this railway while visiting a lagoon in the town that hosts flamingos and other birds. We will conclude our tour at the Egidio Feruglio Paleontological Museum, featuring impressive dinosaur fossils. After an 8-hour trip, we will return you to your hotel in Puerto Madryn.
