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 approximately 75 km of the Patagonian steppe. Our destination is the southern tip of the Golfo Nuevo entrance, home to the Punta Ninfas lighthouse—a crucial landmark for sailors navigating into the gulf.
At the beaches around Punta Ninfas, we have the opportunity to observe the breeding habitats of elephant seals and sea lions.
Our journey continues towards El Pedral, a genuine Patagonian estancia house that doubles as a captivating museum.
We will visit the Magellanic penguin colony within the El Pedral reserve. A guided exploration of their nests offers an insightful experience to learn more about these fascinating creatures.
Back in 2009, the first 14 pairs of Magellanic penguins made El Pedral beach their home. The colony has flourished since, now numbering approximately 6,000 individuals in the reserve.
Meanwhile, from the early hours, the head griller, along with his team, will prepare a memorable Patagonian lamb for us to savor. Lunch will be served in the cozy ambiance of the ranch house.
Post-lunch, as the children enjoy themselves at the pool or around the farm, we can relax in the comfort of the barbecue area, sipping on a delightful tea or coffee paired with a traditional Welsh cake, before commencing our journey back.
We are scheduled to arrive back in Puerto Madryn around 5:00 p.m.
