Descripción del Tour:

Once the bus collects us from the designated meeting point, we depart from Puerto Madryn at 8:30 am, embarking on a journey through roughly 75 km of Patagonian steppe. Our destination is the southern tip of the Golfo Nuevo's mouth, home to the Punta Ninfas lighthouse, an essential landmark for sailors navigating into the gulf.

The shores surrounding Punta Ninfas are notable for their elephant seals and sea lions' breeding grounds.

Our adventure continues towards El Pedral, an authentic Patagonian estancia house that doubles as a captivating museum.

We will then proceed to visit the Magellanic penguin colony within the El Pedral reserve. A guided exploration of their nests gives us an insightful glimpse into the lives of these fascinating creatures.

Since 2009, when the first 14 pairs of Magellanic penguins settled on El Pedral beach, the colony has flourished, now consisting of approximately 6,000 individuals.

Meanwhile, from the early morning hours, the head griller, along with his team, will be preparing a memorable Patagonian lamb feast. Our lunch will be enjoyed in the ranch house.

Post-lunch, while the children delight in the pool or explore the farm, we can relax in the cozy barbecue area, savoring a delightful tea or coffee paired with a traditional Welsh cake, before commencing our journey back.

We are scheduled to return to Puerto Madryn by approximately 5:00 p.m.
