Chubut Valley Trip

At the designated time, we'll depart from your hotel in Puerto Madryn and head to Rawson. Once we arrive at the capital of Chubut province, those interested can board a boat for a dolphin-watching cruise to see marine animals of the southern Atlantic region.

After the boat trip, we will proceed to the coastal resort of Playa Union for free time to enjoy drinks and views. Then, we will continue to the Chubut River valley, where Welsh colonists established a community, beginning with our stop at Gaiman.

In Gaiman, you'll explore the main streets and observe the strong presence of Welsh legacy, from the old railway station to colonial-style houses built by early immigrants. Before leaving, we will visit a classic teahouse for Welsh tea and biscuits.

Our last stop is Trelew, which developed after the construction of the Central Chubut Railway connecting the valley to Puerto Madryn. You will learn about the significance of this railway. We will also visit a lagoon home to flamingos and other birds. The tour concludes at the Egidio Feruglio Paleontological Museum, where you can see remarkable dinosaur fossils. Finally, we will return you to your hotel in Puerto Madryn, concluding this 8-hour trip.
