About Trelew

Trelew is located in the fertile Río Chubut valley, where mainly fruit (particularly cherries) and vegetables are grown. It serves as a service center for the region and has a large wool-processing industry sector. The city was founded in 1886 by Welsh settlers. It has few historical buildings, but its city center feels unique in the region because of the large number of narrow streets and walkways, calledpasajes. The city is a good base for excursions to places like Rawson and its beaches, the Punta Tombo reserve and Camarones and is well connected via public transport to the rest of the province. The climate is arid, windy and fairly sunny, typical for Central Patagonia, with warm to hot summers and cool winters with frequent nightly frost.
