Trelew
Trelew was named after Lewis Jones, who was one of the leaders in the Welsh settlement that started in 1865. The town is situated in the valley of the Chubut River, a few kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean in the northeast of Chubut (67 Km from Puerto Madryn).

It has an international airport with more than five daily flights from and to Buenos Aires, Calafate and Ushuaia during the high season.

Besides, in this town you can visit the Museo Paleontologico Egidio Feruglio (MEF), a modern and remarkable centre in Patagonia that invites the visitor to enjoy an educational experience that combines scientific knowledge with entertainment.

Situated close to one of the largest fossil fields in the world, the MEF offers a unique opportunity to know part of our planet history.

Rawson Port is one of the typical places on the Patagonian coast whose main activity is fishing. Small boats, “the yellow fleet”, sail daily and, once back, sell the visitors the haul they have just caught.

Toninas-watching is one of the newest activities in the area. You set out from Rawson Port on boats specially equipped for sailing off-shore safely and comfortably. The special characteristics of these watchings following the schools of Toninas* make this trip an exciting and pleasurable moment among the sea-mammals in their natural habitat.
