Hola!! My Name is Carina and I 've been working as a tour guide for the past 25 years, wow a lot right? I moved to live with my parents at Puerto Madryn city when I was only 8 years old, and from the first moment I set foot in this city I can honestly say that I fell in love with it and that it's a feeling that still lasts until these days, so for me was natural to became a Tour Guide, reason why as soon I finished high school went straight to the University in order to get my Credential, and that passion that moved me 26 years ago to do that is the same one that made me change from being just a guide on a bus to be a guide - driver on her own car. The reason is simple my aim is that each one of my passengers can enjoy, discover and fall in love of this little corner of Patagonia as I did at my 8 years old. So what you'll experience with me is a unique moment between you and the amazing wildlife and pristine landscape that surrounds Puerto Madryn, and the advantage you have by being alone with me is that the excursion is tailor-made to your wishes and of course to those unexpected moments the roads and nature prepare for us. I love guiding tourist with all kind of interest either history or nature. So don't hesitate to contact me and ask all you want to know about what to see, and when, and then get ready to live a great experience and also to be surprised. If you need more information about me or the tours, please contact me, all your questions will be responded as soon as possible. See you in that little corner around the world. -LicensedTour Guide, issued by the Province of Chubut, License Number S-23 -PROFESSIONAL DRIVING LICENSE -Course of Birdwatching -Certified WFR (Wilderness First Responder) - I have completed COVID's vaccination program (4 doses) -I work for a licensed local tour operator EVyT 12828 (a code that means the company is authorized) My car can fit up to 4 people comfortably.

If you love history, this tour is a must, but you may be wondering why. Well, over a hundred years ago, a small group of Welsh people made the bravest and most difficult decision of their lives: to migrate to Patagonia. I love to imagine walking in their footsteps, trying to experience the fears and joys they felt, and how they coped during their first months in a completely isolated, deserted land that looked nothing like the Wales they had left behind. Join me as I retrace the steps of these pioneering settlers and gain a fresh perspective on history. As we drive through the valley, you will see it transformed from a desert that was once home to the largest dinosaurs imaginable; you will also have the unique opportunity to stand next to one of them.

Puerto Madryn, Trelew, and Gaiman are really fun places to see. As somebody with Welsh-Scottish heritage it was great to hear the story of the settlers and see the original chapels and enjoy the Welsh Tea lunch.
Carina is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable guides that you will encounter and provided an interesting and very enjoyable day .. learning about and seeing the Welch community was certainly worth it and her depth of knowledge was amazing.
Our tour guide, Carina was so helpful. She arranged many sites in advance. We felt like we really had an insider's view of Welsh Patagonia.
We had a wonderful 'Welsh Heritage' day with Carina. We saw so many sites and places that we would never have found on our own. We were so impressed with her knowledge of the history of the Welsh immigrants in Patagonia. One of the highlights for us was a visit to one of the original Welsh Chapels, it was a very moving experience. The other was having tea at Ty Gwyn and being able to converse in Welsh with the ladies serving the tea. We would highly recommend this tour with Carina.
Carina was a delight and despite the challenges caused by the torrential rain the day before our visit we completed the tour as booked. The dinosaur museum was very interesting and Carina's choice of venue for the Welsh Tea meant that we avoided tge venues being used by the big tour buses.
-Pick up at the designated place - Will begin with a visit to the place where the settlers first landed - Drive towards the low valley of the Chubut River, passing through Trelew to arrive at Gaiman - Back to Puerto Madryn Optional. -Visit to the Paleontological Museum
