Gaiman, Argentina
Family travel to Gaiman is a journey through Patagonia’s past. The rocks and fossils at Geoparque Bryn Gwyn date back 20 million years. And while the history of Gaiman is less than 200 years in the making it is noteworthy nonetheless. Welsh settlers founded Gaiman in 1874 and, in addition to turning the desert green, they preserved their heritage in this enclave. The architecture is Welsh. Road signs are in Celtic. Schools are bilingual. And tea is served riverside!
