Once the bus collects us from the designated meeting point, we depart from Puerto Madryn at 8:30 am and journey approximately 75 km through the Patagonian steppe until we arrive at the southern end of the Golfo Nuevo entrance, where the Punta Ninfas lighthouse stands as a crucial guide for sailors navigating into the gulf.
The surrounding beaches of Punta Ninfas are home to the breeding grounds of elephant seals and sea lions.

We will visit the colony of Magellanic penguins at the El Pedral reserve. A guided exploration of their nests offers us a deeper insight into these fascinating creatures.
In 2009, the initial 14 pairs of Magellanic penguins made El Pedral beach their home. The colony thrived swiftly, and now the reserve boasts approximately 6,000 penguins.
Meanwhile, starting early in the morning, the head griller and his team will prepare an unforgettable Patagonian lamb. We will savor this delightful meal at the ranch house.
Post-lunch, while the children enjoy the pool or explore the farm, we can relax in the cozy barbecue area with a cup of tea or coffee and a slice of traditional Welsh cake, before we begin our journey back.
