Estancia Rincón Chico

"If you want to live something intensely, you have to dedicate enough time to it." That is the proposal of this fourth generation of a Valdés Peninsula pioneer family.

Life on the Rincón Chico Ranch combines nature-based tourism with ranching.

Every year, thousands of elephant seals choose Rincón Chico’s 12 km of seacoast to breed and whelp their young.

You will be able to observe wild animals, learn about how they live, and follow their trails to places few people have seen.
