The pretty village of Trevelin, 25 km southwest of Esquel, was once an offshoot of the Welsh colony Gaiman on the Atlantic coast , when the Welsh travelled west to find further lands for growing corn. The name means Town (tre) of the Mill (velin) in Welsh, you can still hear Welsh spoken here, and there is plenty of evidence of Welsh heritage in several good little museums around the town. With a backdrop of snow- capped mountains, the village is an appealing place to rest for a few days, to go fishing and rafting on nearby Río Futuleufu, or see the beautiful waterfalls at the reserve of Nant-y-fall.
