Historical Nature Walk: The Legacy of Welsh Settlers in the New Gulf
I experienced a journey through time: sail through the waters where the Welsh settlers in 1865 and I discovered the origins of Puerto Madryn.
From the Jaws II, a semi-rigid boat perfect for whale watching, you will travel along the coast to Punta Cuevas, the exact spot where the colony began. You will learn about their struggle, their dreams, and their connection to the land.
If the tide allows, you will also see the shipwreck of “Folias” and their forgotten stories.
All with a Professional guide who speaks Spanish and English (check availability of other languages).
