Trelew Hotels - Reviews and Rates

After an exhausting bus trip from Calafate to Puerto Madryn (via Rio Gallegos in the south because it very definitely IS off-season now and bus journeys are getting more and more awkward) I was happy to be hit by sun in this pleasant little town. This region is a centre for marine wildlife spotting (if you come at the right time of year - it tur...

It doesn´t look difficult. tray-LOO, right? My guidebook says tray-LAY-oo, and the locals range from tray-LAU to treel-OW to some unrecognizable permutation. I give up. Trelew is another former Welsh settlement with precious little left of the Welsh influence save for another excuse to eat cake, the old-fashioned Welsh-style cakes sold most ever...

Argentina - or March with the Penguins. See what I did there? Terrible play on words really, plus we only saw a few penguins, from a cliff, quite far away. So it isnt even that relevant. Ho hum. How about Dont Fry for me Argentina. In reference to their penchant down here for all things fatty and fried. Except thats not really true, its all meat...

Chubut capitalFrom the beach we travelled slightly inland to Rawson and Trelew, two well groomed small cities less than 20 kilometers apart. Rawson being the capital of the province Chubut, with all the government buildings, while Trelew is more of a commercial center. We found camping off the highway, between the two cities, a convenient spot f...

Trelew is the largest town in the Chubut valley and has some 90,000 inhabitants. Its only a 1 hour from Puerto Madryn but stepping off the bus feels like entering a new area. Unlike the dry and arrid landscapes of Puerto Madryn, Trelew is irrigated by the Rio Chubut. Its warm and sunny and I can understand how after the Welsh arrived in Puerto M...

We were really disappointed with Trelew. Steve was hoping for a lot more Welsh culture than there actually was. There's a dinosaur museum which we didn't go to, but other that that not much else. Unfortunately, we'd missed the Eisteddfod held at the end of October, so we booked our penguin trip and made plans to get out ASAP. DAILY FACTS - Staye...

Greetings Left Mar del Plata for Puerto Madryne and the Valdez Peninsula around 21:30 on Saturday Feb. 11 and arrived there the next day around 16:00 aboard a Marco Polo Bus from the Don Otto --Patagonia Bus line. Yes, it is a long trip but the buses are comfortable and not crowded and I had two semi-cama seats to myself. Surprisingly I was able...

Day 264 - 265 - Puerto Madryn - Trelew Years ago, I remember reading of a place in the deepest depths of Argentina where they speak Welsh. Well I´m here and it´s true. Well, sort of true. We´ve (Dan, Vanessa, Kirsty and I) found one person who speaks Welsh. And we´ve had Welsh tea. I didn´t even know there was such a thing but for an hour the fo...
