Welsh life in Patagonia 

From the pier, you’ll be transferred to the small town of Gaiman. Welsh immigrants settled in Gaiman around 150 years ago and their descendants still preserve Welsh culture and traditions, including religion, music and language.   

While you’re there, you’ll visit the town museum and admire colonial artifacts, and visit a typical Welsh tea house for tea, cakes and sweet tarts. You’ll also be treated to a performance by an authentic Welsh choir.  

*While we're excited to share the unique flavours of this region with you, it’s important to note that allergy awareness and hygiene standards can vary widely across the world. The local community providing food for this tour may not be as familiar with allergy concerns or preparation standards as suppliers in your home country or the expert chefs onboard our ships. As a precaution, we advise anyone with a severe food allergy to contact a member of the onboard Expedition Team before booking this excursion.
