Trevelin Photo Tour – Esquel

🌸Among blooming valleys, Welsh history, and Patagonian mountains

In the northwestern tip of Chubut, just 25 km from Esquel and at the foot of the majestic Andes Mountains, lies Trevelin, a charming town where Welsh tradition merges with the most vibrant landscapes of Patagonia.

Its name means “mill town” in Welsh, and its history dates back to the late 19th century, when Welsh immigrants settled in the valley to cultivate the land and preserve their language and customs. Today, Trevelin is synonymous with tranquility, Welsh tea, blooming gardens, and privileged access to some of the most spectacular landscapes in the region.
