Itinerary

Day 1

TRELEW: Welsh Culture and Dinosaurs of Patagonia

Arrival to Trelew Airport or Puerto Madryn Airport. Trelew is one of the most important cities in the province of Chubut, and arrival place for people who want to visit Peninsula Valdes. Was founded by welsh colonos that arrived to Patagonia in century XIX.  We will go directly to your hotel in Puerto Madryn, main city in the area and gate to visit the incredible Peninsula Valdes.

Of course, it`s your first day in Puerto Madryn and a good idea would be to rest, or maybe take a walk at your own in the city, but if you`re an active person, and the activity is available, I suggest taking the visit to Doradillo Beach, to enjoy the incredible whales and their carves, just a few meters from the coastline. It`s a unique and amazing show of nature! You can see the optional below, but please check the calendar, this activity is usually available during June to middle September season.
