Chubut

Located on the Chubut river, where it flows into the Atlantic Ocean, Rawson - its capital city- is full of remains of the Welsh immigration that colonized most of the province, mainly the interior towns.

Lying close to Puerto Madryn, the Valdes Peninsula is an area renowned for whales, elephant seals and sea lions. Crowded with an extraordinary variety of birds, the Isla de los Pájaros (the Bird Island) offers an outstanding spectacle. Farther to the south, right on the gulf of San Jorge lies Comodoro Rivadavia, the main oil-producing center in the country, which has grown steadily throughout the years.

Sea lion colony Punta Pirámide (Valdés Península)

In the west of the province and close to the Andes, there is a region where nature, with its wood-covered mountains bearing ice-sculpted peaks and mild pleasant climate, contributes to the development of settlements and of the tourist activity.

Penguin colony

The city of Esquel is the doorway to the mountainous area, famous for its ski resort called La Hoya.

Specific sports like mountain fishing and big game hunting attract a very selective kind of tourist.
