PALEONTOLOGY & OCEANOGRAPHY
IN PUERTO MADRYN AND TRELEW AREA

MEF AND ECOCENTRE: MUSEUMS IN TRELEW AND PUERTO MADRYN
Chubut stands out through the preservation of its natural resources. Its environmental policies are backed by different scientific institutions that work together with the authorities, so that you can enjoy both, nature in freedom and an intact past. For that reason, you should not miss two model institutions: MEF and the Ecocentre.

PALEONTOLOGY MUSEUM EGIDIO FERUGLIO (MEF): TRELEW
This paleontology museum, the most important one in South America, is in Trelew. Its exhibition is a trip to the past, from the first human being back to life begin on the planet, the protagonists being the dinosaurs that once populated this region.
A guided visit is rounded off by documentary that combines both, knowledge and entertainment. This institution also offers educational trips and special activities for teachers and students, apart from an interesting dino-bar and dino-shop. The MEF assigns as much importance to the exhibition itself as to the accomplished reserch work and preservation of the fossils in Chubut's territory. In addition, it works together with similar national and foreign institutions.
Far from ending in its premises, the MEF experience extends to a discovery trip in the Paleontology Park Bryn Gwyn, by Gaiman, a virtual museum under the sky.

ECOCENTRE: PUERTO MADRYN
This is the first institution dedicated to the understanding of the ecosystems. Its aim to promote and transmit knowledge about life in the sea and its preservation, through programmes on environmental education, scientific research and artistic expressions.
The Ecocentre is in Puerto Madryn and exhibits nature's plenty in the Patagonian sea habitat. A pool containing different invertebrates, for instance, will show you the way a starfish moves or the feeding conduct of sea urchins and anemones.
The offers extends to educational activities for teachers and students from all over the country, including the possibility of discussing scientific projects supported by the institution with the scientists themselves. during your visit you can also enjoy the library with a wonderful sea view, and a coffee and souvenir.
