Comodoro Rivadavia is a port city on the coast of Argentina’s Chubut Province at the base of Mount Chenque. It is the major metropolitan hub on on the San Jorge Gulf and home to the National University of Patagonia San Juan Bosco. The town has a fascinating history - founded in 1901, it was initially a magnet for Welsh settlers, as well as South African farmers fleeing British rule, while later reaped it riches when vast oil reserves were discovered here. Today, Comodoro Rivadavia is a visitor’s playground that is home to several casinos and just a short drive from the beach resort of Rada Tilly, a popular summer vacation destination.
