You will stay at El Pedral Lodge, a 19th century house just meters from the ocean. With El Pedral as the point of departure, this program will give you the full spectrum of marine life activity in the area. From whales breeching just in front of you, penguins at play with their young, to sea elephants courting their mates, you will be blown away by the beauty of the region. Strategically located at the tip of Punta Ninfas, El Pedral Lodge offers a natural, unique, and exclusive lookout for watching the whales entering the bay just a few meters from the main lodge. El Pedral also offers incredible landscapes, a beautiful stone covered beach on the Atlantic Ocean, and the possibility of enjoying many activities during the entire year.
Punta Tumbo, just south of El Pedral, is South America’s largest penguin nesting ground. They have found their niche on a coastline largely untouched by modern man. Certainly, the area has so much to offer the unexpecting visitor as it serves as a natural refuge for some of the world’s most amazing animals.
