The Estancia Rincón Chico is an exclusive property located in the southeast corner of the Valdés Península on the Patagonian Sea coast, one of the richest marine areas on Earth harboring populations of right whales, elephant seals, sea lions, orcas -and other smaller dolphins-, penguins, and numerous species of birds and fish. For this reason the site was declared "World Heritage Site" in 1999 and "Biosphere Reserve" in 2014 by UNESCO. 

The owners of the ranch are the fifth generation of two settler families who have lived in the Península for over 120 years, and since 2001 have opened the "gates" to share with guests from all over the world the experience of living in this unique place surrounded by nature.

For wildlife and science Rincón Chico is one of the most iconic properties of Valdés. The property size is 100 square kilometers with 20 kilometers of private beaches in the area with the highest density of fauna in the peninsula.

The lodge has 8 guests rooms and all the activities are guided by biologists/naturalists to see southern elephant seals, south american sea lions, southern right whales, orcas, penguins, visit paleontological and archaeological sites, do birdwatching, trekkings, etc. The concept of the experience we offer is exactly like an African safari, but with different species.
