- Did you know that there are Welsh towns in Patagonia, Argentina?! In today's video, we take a day trip to Gaiman in the province of Chubut, a town that was founded in 1874 by some of the first settlers in arrive to Argentina. We have lunch at a cosy pub, visit a few museums, hike through an old railroad tunnel, and of course, enjoy a delicious Welsh afternoon tea complete with scones, cream pie and Welsh cake! We hope to visit more Welsh towns in Argentina as we continue our travels further west.
To get to Gaiman from Trelew take 28 de Julio bus by loading a transportation card. With buses coming about once every hour. Our visit to Gaiman was one of our favorite day trips in Patagonia. We enjoyed it so much we decided to come back a second day which will be an episode coming out soon.

WELSH TOWN in Patagonia, Argentina + Welsh AFTERNOON TEA at Ty Gwyn in GAIMAN, Chubut 🍰
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a travel vlogging couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
We had the privilege of traveling around Argentina for nearly 3 months from January- April 2019 on a trip covering a large section of the country.
We kicked things off with several days in Buenos Aires where we were joined by Audrey's parents eating and sightseeing around some of our favourite neighbourhoods in the city. We then flew from Buenos Aires to Cordoba where we spent a couple of weeks in the Sierras of Cordoba visiting both La Cumbrecita and Villa General Belgrano with highlights including hiking and delicious German and Swiss cuisine.
From Cordoba, we then travelled a considerable distance on an overnight bus to Mar Del Plata just in time for a special food festival called Feria Masticar featuring the best of Argentine food and wine. We spent several days enjoying beaches and seafood before heading south to Patagonia to visit the province of Chubut.
While on the Atlantic side of Chubut we visited Puerto Madryn, Peninsula Valdes, Trelew, Gaiman and Dolavon. To summarize our time in this area, we had incredibly close encounters with wildlife including penguins, sea lions and guanacos while also experiencing Welsh culture in Argentina.
Our time in Patagonia continued as we headed from east to west trading more barren landscapes for thick forests, impressive mountains and magnificent lakes. We spent significant time in both Esquel and El Bolson with day trips to visit Trevelin, Parque Nacional Los Alerces, Cholila and Lago Puelo. Highlights included sailing, hiking, riding vintage trains and partaking in the national asado festival.
We finished visiting Patagonia with time spent in Villa La Angostura, San Martin De Los Andes and Bariloche where we enjoyed more stunning scenery and hiking. On our way back to Buenos Aires, we took the Tren Patagonia to Las Grutas before meeting up with Audrey's dad again.
To finish off our trip in Argentina, we spent more time in the capital and later Mendoza where we got to experience wine tourism to its fullest extent. Overall, we had an amazing time travelling around Argentina having only scratched the surface of this vast and diverse country.
Overall our Argentina travel series explores cities, small towns that are off-the-beaten-path, and scenic attractions with a strong emphasis on Argentina cuisine and local culture.

I’m Welsh and this is so charming to see a little piece of Wales in South America!!
Thanks Thomas! We visited a few more Welsh town on the other side in Patagonia.
Man Argentina is a treasure! So cool and beautiful.
Thanks! It certainly is a fascinating country to visit.
It's my dream to visit Patagonia and that's a really nice surprise to find a cute little Welsh town there...thanks for the video!
Thank you Neha! So cool to hear. We'll be visiting a few more Welsh towns on this trip.
Wow I wouldn't have thought a place like this would exist outside of Wales. A few of our earlier vlogs have been from Wales, it's so beautiful there ❤️
Thank you! That is so cool to hear. Where was your favorite place you visited in Wales? We went to Cardiff a couple of years ago while we were really sick. So our plans to explore the countryside areas didn't materialize.
The Spanish and Portuguese didnt like the climate much plus there was a large native American tribe they just didnt want to deal with so Patagonia was left to the British who liked the climate and were looking for new places to settle in the new world..
@@theodoresmith5272 It was the Welsh not the British. There was no British government organisation behind the settlements. The Welsh colonists wanted to create a colony free from what they felt was English oppression in their country which was the motivation and threat to the Welsh language and culture. A "little Wales beyond Wales".
@@samuelandaudrey I'm in Wales and enjoyed watching these videos of Wales in Argentina. If you visit here again, I can recommend some places you need to visit. Our climate isn't great but if you visit when we have good weather, Wales is an amazing place 👍
@@aldozilli1293 you are half right. I'm welsh and yes us Welsh did move there for that reason as you suggested.
The "British" so us Welsh, and Scots, Irish and English did also move to Argentina to develop railways and natural resources. Us British had a major influence in Argentina at one point.
Argentina used to drive on the left like the British. When the Perons came into power after ww2 British influence wained.
Welsh in Patagonia was only a fraction of the British in Argentina.
Cool vlog, makes me wanna visit Argentina.
- Love from Bangladesh
Thanks Iftekhar! I want to revisit Bangladesh. I went in 2010 before I met Audrey. Such friendly locals!
@@samuelandaudrey wow, didnt know you visited Bangladesh.... Hope one day you will visit with Audrey.
🇦🇷 ❤ 🇧🇩
Thank you so much for filming this! I've watched your Spanish versions already. I am Welsh and in the middle of planning my trip to Patagonia for a few months time. We're super excited
Thank you very much! That is exciting to hear. We'll also have a video from Trevilin soon which has strong Welsh roots.
Cool, I hope you were planning far ahead and the pandemic didn't ruin your trip. Enjoy your visit!
So nice place in Patagonia, and the dessert looks so greattttt.
Thanks Bill and Mintje! It was a lot of food!
Hi guys,
I absolutely love these food vlogs are absolutely my favorite .
Thanks for sharing this great video.
Thank you very much Michael! We're been enjoying some fantastic food on this Patagonia trip :)
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos I’m sure about that.
We saw a little of Gaiman last year while in the area, but we realize how much we missed after seeing your video - our loss! Thank you for showing us what we missed. And that tea looked absolutely marvelous!
THanks Joe! It is more spread out than we had anticipated. We ended up going back a second time to explore more of the rural areas just outside of the town itself. Hope you can revisit again soon.
So similar to how so many miss Wales, Scotland when they go to the UK. As all they ever see and hear is England and English.
Excellent vlog,the tunnel looked a bit scary.The food on the other hand looked fabulous!🇨🇦👍❤️
Thank you very much Susan! It was a bit isolating being in the tunnel but the tea was top notch.
Great video guys! What an amazing tea you enjoyed there!
Thanks Daniel! It exceeded our expectations for sure!
Sam and Audrey what a beautiful video and your afternoon tea was so amazing ..those desserts and breads looked so yummy
Thank you very much Effie! We had no idea it would be that much food. We may have skipped lunch otherwise...haha
It' s funny how there are dogs and puppies everywhere you go ! 😃🐶🐶🐶🐶
Ah, they're just the best Celina!
I love the first house in Gaiman towards the end of the video 18:13 . It is very interesting to see how people lived then. The bed, mugs, table, baby stroller and so on.
thank you
My grandmother's house in snowdonia was just like that even in the 1980's spring for water and a range for cooking. I'm only 45 and I remember lots of houses like that except they had slate roofs.
They've all gone now and snowdonia is just a theme park for the rich now.
Que delícia esse café com diferentes tortas doces e pães tipicos com queijos e geleias de frutas.
Muchas gracias Sandra! Encontramos algunos de estos pasteles realmente únicos y deliciosos.
You guys are awesome as usual. Sam walks like he's on a mission, so cute. I love how Audrey defines the dishes with expertise. That cheesy pumpkin ravioli in a leek sauce. I'm going to make that. Man, Argentina has it all.
@Fflur Efa Thank you, makes sense.
Thank you Lisa! The food has been a real highlight on this trip. Let us know how it goes with the leek sauce!
@@samuelandaudrey You got it buddies.
That cake with the brown sugar in Wales is called 'Bara Brith' you smother it in butter :P
Thanks for letting us know! Oh, bring on the butter!
Been in Wales since I was born 35 years now, never heard of it before
@@MrSeanrosser you have never heard of Bara Brith? Probably from Newport, eh?
@@billyhughes805 no cardiff and still not heard of it
@@MrSeanrosser Go into any supermarket in the city and they will be selling it, in cake or bread form - the cake is nicer.
Nice! Loved it. Great little town and the food... everything looked fantastic!!
Thank you very much! We're so happy we got a chance to visit. It was a fantastic little day trip.
Gracias,por transportarme a la profunda y amada Patagonia, destaco como siempre la atmosfera que le imprimen a los trabajos,es contagioso.,un like mostruoso como esas tortas.terrible che. saludos Samuel and Audrey y a Dany El Grande, desde San Fernando ,Buenos Aires
Muchas gracias Angel!
Audrey, your brain is gold. Brought up speaking English and French plus Spanish with your parents (Your accent is more Peruvian rather than Argentine hehehe so wonderful!) Congrats!! You'd be a perfect interpreter
Thank you very much Leo!
@@samuelandaudrey You're welcome and thanks to you and Samuel for showing my beautiful Argentina to the world. I'm Argentine/Italian living in Rome since several years. During the lockdown I've watched your dad's chapters where he described his short life in Argentina and his experiences in both USA and Canada. I saw much of myself on your dad. Definitely you're a blessed family. I wish you the best! Greetings from Italy
What a great video!! It looks pretty neat there!! 😊 I bet after ALL that cake, etc you two need a 2 hour nap. LoL 😂😁 It all looks so good. They sure spoil you there. 🍰
You two are awesome❤️❤️
Thank you very much Chris! :)
Canadian eh?
Great video :), the cake with raisins and walnuts is called a fruit cake, it is delicious with tea :).
Thanks Jannells! One of our favorites!
Qué rico!!! Dan ganas de tomar un té con esas tortas!!!
Muchas gracias Maria!
thank you for the upload! me and my partner are thinking of visiting since we are welsh!
Good morning my canadian-patagonian Friends.....!!!! Me parece chicos que van a terminar viviendo en la Patagonia....!!!! Muy buen video y gracias x mostrar las diferentes culturas de Argentina...no van a conocer alguna vez ROSARIO...????
Muchas gracias Daniel! ¡Qué bueno saber de ti esta mañana! Nos encantaría vivir en la Patagonia algún día. Cholila y Trevelin son pequeños pueblos agradables. Algún día visitaremos Rosario. ¿Tiene sugerencias de qué hacer allí?
@@samuelandaudrey Rosario es la 2da.ciudad de Argentina..a orillas del majestuoso río Paraná....como emblema tiene el Monumento A La Bandera Argentina que es impresionante....una gastronomía en base a pescados de río y carnes...muchos parques y 2 estadios de fútbol de destacar ...una ciudad que mira al río casi en su totalidad....yo vivo en una zona cercana a 20 km ..que es muy pintoresca.(.Funes -Roldan.)es llanura pampeana con gran potencial agricolo-industrial...Si alguna vez pasan no duden en avisarme ..tengo un hermoso parque con pileta y hago asados Nivel Dios...jajaja...están invitados....los recibiremos con gusto con mi sra..los 2 chicos...mis 5 😺y 3🐕....♥️
The dark cake you had at afternoon tea is called Bara Brith in wales it’s a traditional fruit loaf made with Tea , muscovado sugar . 😉
Thank you for visited our town and that you liked it 😁 greetings from Argentina🇦🇷
Thanks Matias! We loved it!
Audrey - that ravioli you described sounds scrumptious and it was accidentally vegetarian !!
Thanks Hetal...haha it was
Hola chicos! Simpaticos y divertidos.Bien hechos los videos!
That's so unique to have a Welsh town in Argentina! Great video though guys 👍 what camera do you use? I use an Akaso action cam for my vlogs 😃
Thanks Brendan! It is fascinating because there are a few towns like this to visit in Patagonia. We're using a G9 and GH5. The G9 has really come down in price. Have you visited Wales before? We've only been to Cardiff. We'd love to see more of the countryside.
@@samuelandaudrey the GH5 is an awesome camera! 👍 I've been all over Wales yes, beautiful part of the UK. One place I would highly recommend is Llandudno, North Wales as it's a real traditional British seaside town 😃
That's awesome to hear! Come to think of it we haven't visited many seaside towns in the UK. Would love to plan a trip related to that in the future.
@@samuelandaudrey sounds like a nice plan for the summer 😊. Ice cream, punch and Judy and fish and chips 👍
That sounds perfect!
Precioso paseo, el té espectacular un abrazo inmenso para ambos 🤗🤗
Muchas gracias Nidia!
Are you planning on visiting the capital of Wales? Cardiff? It's beautiful and I'd reccomend Cardiff Castle 💕🏴
Thanks Alexandra! Great, great suggestion! Fortunately we had a chance to visit 2 years ago. We loved Cardiff. That was also the last time both of us were really sick so we didn't explore the countryside as much as we would have liked to.
@@samuelandaudrey thanks for the reply! Aw that sucks to hear! I guess that's all the more reason to re visit 😏🏴
It’s awful
@@ghostlymeow8976 where are you from then?
Alex
North Korea
Desde ya hace tiempos los veo, desde un video donde recorrieron Buenos Aires y cuando te escuche decir una palabra en perfecto argentino, me llamaron aún más sus videos.
Obviamente una argentina y un canadiense.
Sigan así, queremos conocer más.
Me mata de envidia buena como comen de rico jajajajaja 😂🤣
Un gran abrazo 🤗
Muchas gracias Ema!
Nos hemos divertido mucho viajando por Argentina. Esperamos ver más y más de este hermoso país.
Where did you leave your lovely father?; he fits so seamlessly into your videos. :)
He'll be back in our videos soon!
I'm welsh. I noticed that you said that you visited Cardiff. I haven't seen the video, and assuming you haven't, you should consider visiting us in North Wales. Its very very different to Southern Wales and is noticably more celtic. Too much is made of Cardiff.
Also I'm shocked you didnt try any Welsh cakes or Barabrith.
There was also a Welsh colony in Brazil and another "colony" in Pensylvania due to the coal and slate mines.
In Pensylvania there's a county of Gwynedd and other Welsh place names. Amtrak also has a station called "North wales".
Another Welsh influence in America would be the Cockerell on kellogs. There were a Lot of Quakers in Wales.
Not forgetting the architect Frank Lloyd Wright was Welsh decent too.
Diolch am y fideo.
shut it gog
@@tomk.williams1186 shut it taffy.
@FranticRS I used to work in Pencader. I liked it there. Hardly surprising we sound like scousers as many people relate more to Liverpool than Cardiff.
@FranticRS I know it. Over the hill from new Inn. I'm near Porthmadog.
How do you two not gain any weight? Great video as always!
We tend to walk all day when we're visiting somewhere new...but a few pounds do always follow us back home. 😉
You guys are the BEST****
Thank you Mireya! Hope you're having a great weekend :)
El dato importante: no almorzar si durante la tarde vas a tomar el té a Gaiman, una regla de oro. Saludos desde Trelew. Hermoso video!
Imagine going to Argentina to meet Welsh people. I just take a 20 minute flight to go to actual Wales 🤣
You can save some money on the airfare! ;)
Some of us just moved to wales...
They aren’t welsh they just speak the language
Poopoo in bumbum 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂poopoo in bumbum 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ty Gwyn is Welsh for White House. I'd be interested to visit Welsh Patagonia but as it's literally on the far side of the world it's a long way for an afternoon tea. The Cream Pie (or Tart) is a particular speciality developed by the Welsh settlers in Patagonia. I have a small Welsh book (written in English) called "A book of Welsh Country Puddings and Pies" by Bobby Freeman, it has a recipe for it and a little note on the origins.
Happy New Year Samuel and Audrey!!!
Thank you Karl! Happy New Year! Any big plans or goals for 2020?
Hi! Another great video. The real Welsh border is 80 miles from here))
You're so close Tony! Do you visit often?
Traditional Welsh Cakes are very similar to scones, but are cooked on a griddle not in the oven
Ah, thanks for letting us know!
The welsh cake is a version of bara brith. I have a feeling you tried it when you went to wales but I maybe wrong
Thanks for letting us know Mellissa! It was delicious.
Languages in this Welsh town: Do any of the local people still speak Welsh or is Spanish the only spoken language now?
@Fflur Efa Thanks, I was hoping that Spanish had not totally dominated the town's local language.
Lady Di visited this town in the middle of the 90s and a child chorus song to her in Welsh language. There's a Tea Room in Gaiman that keeps the cup Diana used to get her tea. She's been always a very loved woman in Argentina
They speak both languages
Nice Video Samuel and Audrey
Thank you very much Pranav! How will you be spending your weekend?
I still struggle for job@@samuelandaudrey
Hoping you find your dream job soon. What would you like to do?
@@samuelandaudrey i don't like this morden living style
All kinds of bread and butter - amazing 😘
Thanks LeAny! No shortage of butter that is for sure!
That house at 0:10 is so typical of the British Isles.
More welsh people should move out there
Beautiful part of Argentina!
Se ve hermoso!! Algun dia me gustaria ir. Ya han ido a Mendoza o Jujuy?
Visitamos Mendoza y Jujuy. Destinos increíbles! Tendremos esos videos que saldrán en unos meses en los canales en inglés y español.
Datos para Samuel y Audrey: colonos que emigraron de patagonia fundaron WINNIPEG.

Honestly, the only people I’ve ever known take “afternoon tea” here in the UK are tourists 🤷🏻♂️
Interesting to hear! Isn't tea, not afternoon tea, but merely 'tea' considered supper?
i must be the weird one, *i can drink hot tea anytime*
@@samuelandaudrey yup "tea" is dinner/supper in many areas. It's mainly a working-class thing. Afternoon tea is entirely different and is usually a special treat (birthdays, mothers day etc)
Same here Michael!
Thanks for explaining that! Totally makes sense now.
It is worthy of mention that the name Gaiman is not of Welsh origin, but
Tehuelche (Patagonian natives) a people that is almost extinct, sadly., and it means "sharpeninig stone" (piedra de afilar).
Many names of places in Patagonia are of Tehuelche origin, like, Esquel or Chaltén. The famous local myth that claims if you eat the Calafate fruit you will return some day, is of Tehuelche origin.
Yo
Yo!
Y los videos en español??
Gracias Mauro!
Esperamos tener nuestro próximo video en español mañana para el domingo.
Do you know what is a Welsh in Northern France?
Mmmmh miam! 😂
I didn't know.
not a single welsh speaker or local in this video?
Did they have welsh rabbit,
No it was mostly sweets on the menu I believe.
Looks like Welsh sheep dog?
I think it might be Tim!
The bread is probably Barack brith
weird welsh in south american who'd thought!
Fascinating for sure and a few more to visit.
Not that weird. There are 2 german cities in Peru: Oxapampa and Pozuzo.
It is so not weird. Many Europeans (other than the Spanish) explored and settled in South America over the centuries, including Germans, English, Italians, Portuguese, Eastern European, and even Asians. These facts are not widely known by the world in general simply because the main media (dominated by the US and the UK) stereotypes South and Latin Americans in general. For example, Alfredo Stroessner (a Bavarian descendant) was the dictator of Paraguay for several decades until 1988, and Fujimori (a Japanese descendant) was the president of Peru as well. Half of the population of Argentina is Italian in origin; the largest Japanese population outside Japan is in Brazil, etc. In Chile, the name of O'Higgins, an Irish immigrant and liberator, is prominently displayed in public plazas; Juan O'Leary was one of the main literary writers in the country of Paraguay, after which a downtown plaza is named...I can continue but I hope you get the point,
Flights
:)
goes to a welsh town never tries to interact with any welsh....
?
Background "music" is so bloody irritating, it takes away enjoyment of the video.
The "music" is not necessary. The video is better without it.
Thanks for the feedback.
Para fundar ese tipo de colonias debieron masacrar pueblos y Naciones del Abya Yala. Eso fundos está asentados en una montaña de huesos y cementerios
La historia de los galeses fue que llegaron por rawson, no había mucha gente habitando esas zonas, el gobierno los mandaba a los campos a sembrar, tuvieron problemas y se iban desplazando hacia otras regiones de la provincia de Chubut, los criollos y los nativos los ayudaron a sembrar y como los inmigrantes eran mayoría ellos decidieron seguir siendo parte de argentina
No masacraron a ningún pueblo, incluso existió la amistad entre el pueblo galés, el gaucho y el nativo tehuelche, ya que ellos los ayudaban a los galeses a sembrar, preparar la tierra
