Wildlife lovers looking to explore Argentina’s unique marine wildlife in idyllic isolation.
Estancia Rincon Chico is set in the Península de Valdés, the coastal region of Patagonia, Argentina.
There are eight simple but comfortable double rooms with private bathrooms and four single rooms at this traditional farmhouse. The cosy living area at Estancia Rincon Chico is just what you need after a day’s trekking or exploring, with large sofas and a small fire. For families, there’s a fantastic little cottage with two bedrooms and views over the beach, home to thousands of elephant seals year-round.
Food at Estancia Rincon Chico is home cooked and served in the family’s dining room for an authentic estancia experience.
With the remote location of Estancia Rincon Chico, guests really do have an incredible opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the amazing local wildlife, particularly the many indigenous birds and families of elephant seals who breed on the beach nearby. Keen walkers, cyclists and horse riders will be able to explore the many beautiful windswept trails in the area. Whale watching is also an option and about an hour’s drive from the Estancia.
Estancia Rincon Chico is a favourite of the National Geographic which has described it as ‘one of the best hotels in South America’.
