Leaving Rincon Chico was really difficult. Having spent long days watching elephant seals, orcas, sea lions and birds on the grounds of this amazing estancia, reentering the outside world wasn't high on our list. We loved staying here, sharing the true joy and appreciation of the place and its wildlife with our hosts Augustino and Maria. One truly remarkable experience... More

Get up close to nature at this Estancia. The passion of Augustino and Maria is infectious. We took my parents and they would have loved to spend longer. getting up close with the wildlife is out of this world. Food was good and plentiful, house was warm and comfortable, just a little expensive. we will no doubt be back when... More

We stayed in November 2011 Food is ok but not gourmet however this is not a place for eating but watching elephant seals on the private beach with no other people than the Estancias guests. We know of no other place where you can be a meter away from the elephant seals!! Augustino and his wife Maria runs the Estancia... More

I've stayed at Rincon Chico twice, once for work (I'm in travel) and once as a surprise for my parents' 30th anniversary when they visited me in Argentina. It's right on the Valdes Peninsula, and has access to private beaches. This is awesome because you can get very close to elephant seals, which are just completely crazy animals - so... More

Clean and streamlined ranch with good food and resident rhea and dogs. Most spectacularly had access to private beaches where hundreds of seals were hanging out! Our guide was a biologist and really knowledgable and interesting. Stayed 2 nights and would have been happy to stay much longer More

If you want to get away from it all and enjoy the greatness and vastness of patagonia go to Estancia Rincon Chico. It might be an adventure to get there (don't follow the dirt road when wet) but its is worth the effort. The service is great. The estancia is great. The surrounding is great. The sea elephants are great,... More

Basic but very nice estancia with great wildlife . the owner was our guide and he was fantastic. Pitty that his wife didn't speak any english at all. But the food.... you get better food in boarding schools... we didn't have any meet at all, millions of lambs in the surroundings, but none on our plate; t is a shame;... More

This really is a very special place if you appreciate remote locations, stunning scenery and unusual wildlife. Some people have criticsed the rather basic nature of the food and bedrooms but we found both to be fine. This is not a 5 star hotel but a chance to stay on an authentic estancia - rather like living with a family.... More

Stayed here for three nights with our two children. A magical place. Kind owners, utterly stunning location, and exceptional wildlife viewing. The silence and the Patagonian sky at night are otherworldly--stars so thick they seem to drip from the sky. A great place to go and drop out from a connected world. More
