With an incredible location in the heart of this wildlife and nature paradise, the Rincón Chico estancia is a special place. With only eight bedrooms, each with private bathroom, and cozy drawing and dining rooms, this converted farmhouse offers comfort in an isolated setting and undisturbed peace. The lodging only has electricity between 7-10pm so note that you can only have hot showers at night.
A stay at the estancia includes a visit to their beach and the population of elephant seals. You can also arrange trips to the penguin colonies or, if you are there between June and November, you may have the opportunity to go whale watching as the southern right whales use these waters to breed. These additional trips should be paid for locally.
