Chubut

Chubut combines the spare openness of Patagonian steppe with the rugged relief of the Andes in a way that reflects its position between Argentina’s Atlantic coast and the Chilean frontier. The Chubut River crosses the province from the mountains toward the sea, supporting the lower valley around Trelew and Gaiman. Along the coast, Península Valdés is a UNESCO World Heritage site recognised for the seasonal presence of southern right whales and other marine wildlife. Chubut also retains a distinct Welsh legacy: settlers founded the colony of Y Wladfa in 1865, and Welsh tea houses remain part of the lower valley’s identity.
