October is the time when tulips bloom and transform the countryside into a palette of vibrant hues. In Trevelin the tulips transform the field into a palette of colors, but the time to live this experience is very short. On November 5th is the closing of the season and a Party is held.
To go see them, it is not necessary to make a reservation to visit the cultivation. It is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. continuously. It is possible to enjoy gastronomy all day long at the Tulipanes Patagonia Tea House. There is a shuttle that leaves from the Trevelin Tourism Secretariat at two times. Without prior reservation.
The cost of entry this 2023 season in high season from October 10 to 31 is $5000. And from November 1 to 5, $4000 per person. Trevelin has 1,313 places. A cabin for four costs between 25 and 30 thousand pesos and up. At www.trevelin.tur and find all the information.
The author of this prodigy is called Juan Carlos Ledesma and he saw his flowers grow, following much struggle. With Welsh ancestors, Ledesma’s path is similar to that of a pioneer: it was long and difficult, but it has its reward every October when people begin to arrive at his field.
The @tulipanespatagonia account is the only official channel that shows the real state of the crop. The images that circulate on networks are often from other years, so if you want to see how the tulips are, the Ledesmas invite you to stop by.
This year you can take the hot air balloon excursion and plane rides and there are experiences such as a field tea in the crop with well-known Argentine and international florists. Peonies bloom in December.
There is also a Tulip Festival on November 5. It is the close of the season and in the morning the remaining tulips are cut, then there is a shower of tulip petals, and at 4 in the followingnoon there are local artists, gastronomy, pastry, Welsh and artisan fair.
