The experience begins with the transfer from the port of Puerto Madryn to Estancia El Pedral. Once at the lodge, passengers take a visit to our private colony of Magellanic penguins, accompanied by a bilingual guide/naturalist.

The excursion departs in the morning in small groups and allows for spectacular wildlife sightings, in addition to experiencing an authentic experience of the Atlantic Patagonia from the perspective of the pioneers who settled the region last century.

Only 15 minutes from our stay is the Punta Ninfas Lighthouse. Your visit will make you feel privileged, being part of a different, magical, and unforgettable landscape.

Every year, starting in September, a growing colony of friendly Magellanic penguins settles in El Pedral.

As we tour the reserve, our grill master, along with his team, will prepare a traditional Patagonian roast lamb, a gastronomic experience hard to forget.

Every September, a growing colony of friendly Magellanic penguins settles in El Pedral. A guided walk among their nests will allow you to get to know those curious animals better. El Pedral maintains a beach control and cleaning scheme, also collaborating with the GPS foundation (Global Penguin Society), which monitors the Magellanic penguin colony in Punta Ninfas.
Just 15 minutes from the stay, high on the cliff at the southern end of the New Gulf mouth, is the Punta Ninfas lighthouse. Valuable reference for navigators entering the New Gulf, it also fulfills its faithful duty as a watcher of 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.
Passengers can observe Elephant Seal colonies, take a guided tour among the Magellanic Penguin nests, and finally eat a traditional lamb roast at the Ranch and enjoy the pool during the summer months.
