Estancia El Pedral is a historic estate located on the shores of Golfo Nuevo, 66 km from the town of Puerto Madryn. It is home to the closest Magellanic Penguin colony to the city.
Our proposal includes departing early from your accommodation in Puerto Madryn in small groups to enjoy a true Patagonian experience.
Estancia El Pedral is an excellent alternative for those who prefer to avoid lengthy vehicle journeys to see penguins. The penguin colony at El Pedral is located at the mouth of Golfo Nuevo, in a magnificent environment.
"Just 15km from the main area of El Pedral lies Punta Ninfas, at the southern tip of Golfo Nuevo, where we can observe a colony of Southern Elephant Seals and, with some luck, a group of orcas patrolling the coast in search of prey."
La experiencia culmina con un almuerzo que destaca por su tradicional cordero patagónico, difícil de olvidar. Además, se incluyen empanadas caseras, una variedad de ensaladas frescas, vino tinto de la casa y una deliciosa ensalada de frutas como parte del menú.
