- Just 15 minutes from the estancia, on top of the cliff at the southern end of the mouth of the Golfo Nuevo, is the Punta Ninfas lighthouse. A valuable reference point for sailors entering the New Gulf, it also fulfills its faithful task of watching over the arrival of the first whales to the Gulf each year, on the cold days of May. The view from the cliff of the Punta Ninfas lighthouse will make you feel privileged, part of a different, magical and incredible landscape.
- Stay: Authentic Patagonian farmhouse, the house of El Pedral is as attractive for its history as for its particular design. Built at the beginning of the 20th century, the materials and furniture were brought from Europe by boat and landed on the shores of the estancia itself. Inaugurated in 1923, the house preserves the aesthetics and style of those times, evoking a glorious time of intrepid entrepreneurs, undisputed pioneers of the development of the Valdés Peninsula.
- Passengers can observe colonies of Sea Elephants, take a guided tour among the nests of the Magellanic Penguins, and finally eat a traditional roast of lamb at the Estancia and enjoy the pool during the summer months.
