Trevelin Day 2

The area around Trevelin was originally settled by the Welsh. There are a lot of people of Welsh descent in the Chubut province. We are staying at Challhuaquen Lodge, near Trevelin. The name Trevelin comes from the Welsh words for Mill Town.

Our first stop today, as we explored the area was Campo de Tulipanes. We were lucky that it was a nice day with a lot of sun. The pictures of the tulips and the surrounding mountains don’t do the site justice. It was lovely to stroll through the tulips and enjoy the beautiful day.

Next we went to the Nant y Fall Winery and had a tour and tasting. it is located just down the road from the Tulips. One of the owners of the winery gave us the tour. Her family came from Italy after WWII.

Our last stop was Molino Nant Fach. It’s a working flour mill and museum. We took a very entertaining tour. The tour guide operated the mill and later used a boiler to operate the saw mill and the printing presses.
