Hostel El Refugio Puerto Madryn

... br><br>8th &#8211; Went for a short stroll to see the remains of the original cave dwellings used by the first Welsh settlers when they landed in 1865. The caves themselves were dug out from the soft sandstone, the blocks that were cut were then piled up to make a wall at the front and covered over using a tarpaulin. Nowadays the caves are in very poor condition, although in one you ...

... we were surrounded by them!! They are quite possibly the cutest, most fascinating, little animals we´ve ever seen, could´ve quite happily watched them for days and days. They weren´t fazed by all the people around either and walked around proudly not letting anyone get in the way.
