Latest Trelew hotel reviews
bonio Says: An afternoon exploring town, enjoyed a while in the pretty main square and finally found ourselves in the bar of the Hotel Touring Club which has changed little since a visit by Butch Cassidy and Sundance.
bonio Says: At the old railway station, no longer a rail link to Trelew, the history of Trelew with some information about the railway too.Well worth the small admission fee.
bonio Says: A trip to see the Magellanic Penguin colony at Punta Tombo was the excuse for our visit to Trelew.Arranged a tour,see later tip, and a journey time of around 90 minutes through the deserted countryside of Patagonia to get there.Once there a small admission fee, this is no...
barryg23 Says: Capilla Tabernacle is a small Welsh chapel, dating from 1899, built not long after the town was founded. The Welsh built many chapels in the Chubut Valley, the most impressive of which are around Gaiman. I´m not sure if there is much of a Welsh community nowadays in Trelew,...
barryg23 Says: The Museo Pueblo Regional de Luis is a small museum, housed in a beautiful museum, the former railway station, also the first building in Trelew. The museum focuses on the history, in particular on the people, of Trelew and the surrounding areas. Much of this concerns the...
barryg23 Says: Trelew´s Paleontology Museum is the most modern but also the most expensive museum we visited in Argentina. Clearly a lot of work has gone into this museum, though it seems a little excessive and unfair to charge 16 pesos to foreigners, while Argentines are only charged 11....
TexasDave Says: Museo Paleontologico Feruglio (MEF) is an outstanding museum of prehistoric natural history. Dozens of dinosaur skeletons are displayed, although the written cescriptions are only in Spanish. For the casual tourist the visit to this museum will take about an hour or so....
barryg23 Says: One of the more striking buildings in Trelew is St. David's hall, originally used as a meeting room by the Welsh settlers, though nowadays used for bingo. It's distinctive red colour makes it stand out.
Rivadavia: Budget accommodation in Trelew
barryg23 Says: As Trelew receives far fewer visitors than Puerto Madryn it's much more difficult to find budget accommodation, and with no hostels, you can only choose from hotels or posadas. With the help of the friendly lady in the tourist office we had a list of the cheapest places and...
Hotel Rivadavia: Trelew - Chubut
sof76 Says:
bonio Says: A great choice for our only meal in town. Lovely friendly and comfortable restaurant, with a marvellous steak, barbequed to perfection for me and a pretty special salad for the vegetarian Mrs B.Very reasonable price and enjoyed our visit.
TexasDave Says: This restaurant occupies a building which was built as a grain mill in 1886. A very modern glass roof encloses the courtyard and comprises the main dining room. From there you can see the enclosed grill (parrilla) where all the meat is roasted. The menu is varied and...
barryg23 Says: Trelew didn't have a great selection of restaurants, and the best value one we could find was Genesis, close to the centre of town. Its pizzas were excellent value and big enough to share, meaning you can have a meal for two for about 25 pesos. Lomitos, hamburgers and...
barryg23 Says: A fantastic, atmospheric bar/cafe, Hotel Touring Club was our favourite place for a drink in Trelew. Built in the 19th century, this plaze oozes atmosphere, and it was a great place to hide from the bad weather.There's an old fashioned bar behind which you see bottles of all...
bonio Says: Arranged our trip to Punta Tombo with this tour operator. Picked up from our hotel on time, a friendly, knowledgeable and helpful guide (Sebastian) and a professionally organised and very memorable day out for us.Recommended.
bonio Says: Aerolineas Argentinas flew us to Trelew from Buenos Aires, flight time around 1 hour 40 min. One flight operated by their partner "Austral".Taxi into Trelew around 30 Peso (Nov 2010)
barryg23 Says: Trelew is something of a transport hub for Patagonia and has many onward connections. After two days in the rain in Trelew, we were more than ready to move on, so we took an overnight bus to El Bolson, in the heart of Patagonia. This was an 11 hour bus journey, which cost...
globetrott Says: We had a short stop-over at the airport of Trelew,in order to fill up fuel, and when approaching Trelew, all that we could see was a small village of low houses, surrounded by endless landscapes with just a very few roads.
South America's Largest Penguin Colony
TexasDave Says: Over 70 miles South of Trelew, this is the largest colony of Magellanic penguins in the world. Estimates vary but it's safe to say there are several hundred thousand penguins here from September to March. They are very docile and you can walk among the nests which are...

Q: How many connections are between Trelew and Puerto Madryn every day? How much cost a ticket? How long is travel?
A: There are numerous bus connections each day between the two. As I recall there are more during the summer months than in the winter so depends on when you go. The fares...

just a short stop-over by plane
I only had a short stop-over here in Trelew, when flying from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia. Fuel was filled up and after 30 minutes or so we were flying away again
