The Bethel Chapel is one of several Welsh nonconformist chapels that dot Gaiman and the surrounding valley. Built in the late 19th century in the austere style of Welsh Methodist chapels, it sits incongruously amid the brown Patagonian landscape. The interior is plain — whitewashed walls, plain wooden pews, a small organ — which is exactly as it should be.
Services were originally conducted entirely in Welsh, and there are still occasional Welsh-language services today. The chapel is a tangible piece of Welsh religious culture relocated wholesale to South America: the architecture, the liturgical tradition, and the austere aesthetic are all distinctly Welsh, not Argentine.
