In addition, you can go to the picturesque Trevelin, full of Welsh culture and, together with Gaiman, they have preserved the essence of Welsh colonies. You can taste culinary delicacies and customs of the community in some of the tea houses of the place.

Las Grutas

Chances are that in Las Grutas there is no longer the warmth of the summer that attracts thousands of tourists at that time. But many choose it in the fall, just to breathe tranquility in those beautiful beaches with cliffs and blue sea. By plane you can get to the airport which remains in the access to Las Grutas and by car you access by routes from the four corners of the country.

Since there you can schedule a tour of the levees with mollusks, take a trip to Las Coloradas, to a seabird reserve San Antonio Bay and the nearby deep water port of San Antonio Este, where all the fruit comes to be marketed the outside.
