		Today, the Camwy Valley is known as Chubut; like the Nile Valley in Egypt, it offers a thin strip of green, fertile and welcome tree-dotted land surrounded on both sides by the hostile scrub-filled semi-desert.
		Unlike that of the Nile, however, the Chubut Valley is only 50 miles long, and its grey, sullen waters irrigate an area only 6 miles wide.
		Yet just as the Nile is known as the cradle of civilization in Egypt, so the Chubut Valley is the foundation of the Welsh settlement of Patagonia.

		They were not impressed to find that the promised plots at Kel-Kein further up the Rio Chubut were of semi-desert scrub, or that their passage fares out had been deducted from their first wages.

		However, this was by no means exclusively a rural project, many pioneers came from the new, industrial areas of the south Wales valleys, and they found their skills, as railwaymen or miners, worse than useless when they landed at Port Madryn, on the Atlantic shore of Argentina.
		But they persevered and secured a foothold in the Chubut valley, where a river they christened the Camwy cut a narrow channel through the desert from the Andes.
		There, the Welsh immigrants made their dream a reality, and the Chubut valley, painstakingly irrigated by hand labour, became a patchwork of farms, all inhabited by Welsh people, their numbers reinforced as further emigrants arrived.
