Things to do in Trevelin

  1. Tumba de Malacara

    Horse lovers can pay their respects at Tumba de Malacara, the monument holding the remains of a brave horse whose swift retreat saved its owner’s hide. As the story goes, town founder John Evans escaped with Malacara from murder-bent Araucanians, who were retaliating for an attack by the Argentine army during the Conquista del Desierto. It’s two blocks northeast of Plaza Coronel Fontana.

  2. Museo Regional Molino Viejo

    The Museo Regional Molino Viejo occupies the restored remains of a 1922 grain mill and is stuffed with interesting historic artifacts. Look for the antique bridal gown and the Welsh coffee cup designed for men who have mustaches. It’s a couple of blocks east of the plaza, at the end of 25 de Mayo.
