A Gringo's Holiday: 4: Iguacu, Buenos Aires and Trelew

on BBC Two England

Journey through Brazil, Argentina and Chile with Johnny Morris

'A number of people in Patagonia speak Spanish and Welsh... They remember their greatgrandfathers, who came from Abertillery and Abersoch... There is something of Wales here still... The Welsh who love to talk and sing.'
On his way to Argentina Johnny charters a tiny aircraft to fly over the largest waterfalls in the Americas at Iguacu. In Buenos Aires he visits the Boca district-home of the tango - before flying 800 miles south to Trelew in the Patagonian province of Chubut. Welsh faces, language and names recall the party of Welsh immigrants who landed nearby in 1865.
