The starting point is Punta Cuevas, where you will be able to appreciate the ruins of the first Welsh settlement in the area. These caves, dating back to 1865, were the first dwellings of Puerto Madryn and are among the oldest in the whole of Patagonia. They are considered a historical site. There you will find the Punta Cuevas exhibition center where there are objects of early settlers and you will learn about the history of two cultures: Aboriginal – Welsh.

Immediately after that, from the Indio Tehuelche monument, a panoramic view of the city, beaches, industrial estate and fish processing factories, can be enjoyed. Proceed down Boulevard Brown through the residential area of the city until reaching Avenida Roca. Driving along this avenue, past the Hermandad del Escrofalo and Club Social y Deportivo Madryn, you will get to the Welsh Exploit Monument built by architect Estanislao Boris and sculptor Luis Perlotti to commemorate the city centennial. Turning left on 28 de Julio Street and going up to Mitre Street, you will find Plaza Gral. San Martin (San Martin square), the townhall offices, the church and old buildings. When you arrive to the last turning point on the boulevard, leaving on the right the Luis Piedrabuena Pier and the Prefectura building, take Yrigoyen Avenue up to Mosconi Street and then turn right to arrive to Chalet Pujol now converted into the Oceanographic and Natural Sciences Museum. Across from the museum the ancient house of the Railway manager can be seen. Continue driving along Domecq Garcia to get to Muelle Storni (Storni Pier) and the Aluar Aluminum Plant to complete the circuit of the history and development of the city.
