The town of Puerto Madryn is a Argentina’s second largest fishing port, which is located on the Golfo Nuevo. The city still has a small town feel and the locals are very warm and welcoming to the tourists that come their way. Welsh immigrants who came to the area founded the city of Puerto Madryn in the late 19th century. As the settlement began to grow more immigrants came to the area and then Puerto Madryn became a mix of Italians, Spanish and Welsh immigrants. There is clear evidence in the architecture and way of life that reflect the strong European influence in the city. This is a great city to experience wildlife such as penguins, orcas, dolphins, elephant seals, armadillos, foxes and choiques and at the same time see the beautiful landscapes the area has to offer.
