Welsh Colony + Paleontological Museum

Cultural Adventure: Dinosaurs, Welsh Tea and History in the Chubut Valley

I lived a unique day in the heart of the Chubut River Valley: since the bones of the Patagotitan Mayorum, the largest land dinosaur on the planet, up to Welsh tea houses of Gaiman, passing through the impressive Egidio Feruglio Paleontological Museum (MEF).

This full day tour combines paleontology, history, culture and unique landscapes, all with a Professional guide who speaks Spanish, English, French, Italian or Portuguese.

Ideal for families, science lovers and those who want to learn about the Welsh footprint in Patagonia.
