Gaiman Trip

After setting off from your hotel, the first stop is Punta Cuevas, one of the first settlements of the Welsh colony in Chubut province.

To learn about Welsh emigration to Argentina and the community's evolution, we will head to Gaiman. This town has the largest proportion of Welsh descendants in the country and serves as the central focus for their community in Argentina. Here, on the banks of the Chubut River, we will visit the first Welsh house, a British-style building constructed in 1874.

Our exploration of the town's past includes a visit to the Regional Historical Museum, located in an old train station. You will find evidence of the Welsh legacy in the railway tunnel and the old chapel built by settlers in the late 19th century.

Finally, we will visit a traditional teahouse for tea and biscuits as enjoyed by the Welsh. At the end of the tour, we will return you to your hotel in Puerto Madryn.
