We will explore the Chubut River Valley learning about its culture, combined with dolphin watching. In Gaiman we'll have Welsh tea and visit the Trelew Paleontological Museum, the most important in Latin America.

We depart early from Puerto Madryn. First stop at Puerto Rawson for optional watching of Commerson's dolphins (world's smallest dolphin).

Approximately 1h30min navigation, depending on the presence of these playful animals in the wild.

We continue to Lower Valley to see Welsh Chapels. In Gaiman, optional Welsh tea tasting and local museum visit.

Returning to Puerto Madryn, we'll pass through Trelew for optional visit to Egidio Feruglio Paleontological Museum.
