Punta Cuevas Area
Traveling towards the south of the city to the end of the Boulevard Alte. Brown, you can find the Punta Cuevas Area, a historical site and home of the first Welsh settlers in Chubut. The caves were the first dwelling in Puerto Madryn, which were dug by the settlers and one of the oldest in colonized Patagonia. The most ancient houses in Patagonia were built on this site. Today, an exhibition center stands and displays objects which would belong to the colonists to tell the history of the Indian and Welsh culture.

We had a fantastic time exploring the coastal scenery and getting up close with the playful sea lions, which really exceeded our expectations. While the two-hour duration felt a bit short to fully soak in the stunning views and local culture, the experience was definitely worth it for a quick escape from business meetings.

Our encounter with the sea lions at Punta Loma was a highlight, as we watched these playful creatures bask on the rocks while waves crashed around them. While the city tour provided some interesting insights into Puerto Madryn’s history, we felt a bit rushed through certain spots, leaving us wanting to explore more.
