Chubut Valley Trip

The tour departs from your hotel in Puerto Madryn and heads to Rawson. Upon arrival at the capital of Chubut province, participants will board a boat for a dolphin watching cruise to observe marine wildlife in the southern Atlantic.

After the cruise, the group will travel to the coastal resort of Playa Union for a break to enjoy local seafood. Following this, we will journey to the Chubut River valley, where Welsh colonists established a community. The next stop is Gaiman, the heart of this Welsh heritage.

While exploring Gaiman’s main streets, visitors will see the Welsh legacy in areas like the old railway station and colonial-style housing built by early settlers. A classic teahouse visit includes an authentic afternoon snack of Welsh tea and biscuits.

Next, the tour continues to Trelew, which developed after the construction of the Central Chubut Railway connecting this valley to Puerto Madryn. Participants will learn about the significance of this railway. The tour includes a visit to a lagoon in the town where flamingos and other birds can be observed. The day concludes at the Egidio Feruglio Paleontological Museum, featuring impressive dinosaur fossils, before returning to the hotel in Puerto Madryn.
