Puerto Madryn, Coastal city in Chubut Province, Argentina.
Puerto Madryn extends along the Nuevo Gulf with a beachfront avenue and deep-water port, serving as an industrial center for aluminum production and fishing activities.
The city foundation dates to July 28, 1865, when 150 Welsh immigrants arrived on the Mimosa ship and established the first settlement at Punta Cuevas.
The former Railway Station from 1889 transformed into a central bus terminal preserves the architectural heritage connecting the Welsh immigration period to modern times.
From June through December, visitors can observe southern right whales from multiple locations including the Observatorio Punta Flecha, situated 17 kilometers north of the city.
The EcoCentro research facility combines scientific studies with educational exhibits about the marine ecosystems of Patagonia and the Nuevo Gulf waters.
