 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:  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...

 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.
