Unlike the rugged, mountainous imagery most associate with Patagonia, this exclusive journey unfolds on the windswept Atlantic edge — a unique, arid coastline where the steppe meets the sea. Over six days, you’ll explore the vast Valdés Peninsula on horseback, riding through ancient seabeds, fossil canyons, and along endless deserted beaches.

Timed with the southern right whale migration, this experience offers exceptional land- and sea-based whale watching, far from crowds. Nights are spent camping under the stars or in a traditional estancia, accompanied by warm hospitality and stories around the fire.

Ride 20 km across open plains to reach the coast. Picnic at a cliffside lookout, then follow the shoreline to camp beside a historic beach echoing with whale calls.

Day 3 — Coastal Exploration by Horseback
Follow the edge of the sea past ravines and fossil beds. Gallop along empty beaches, swim with your horse, or simply rest in the stillness of maritime Patagonia.

Day 4 — Whale Encounters from the Saddle
Ride to remote headlands and ancient Tehuelche sites. From a windswept ridge, watch whales and calves just offshore — often within 50 meters.

Day 5 — Whale Watching by Boat
Transfer to Puerto Pirámides for an unforgettable afternoon at sea: whales breaching, tail-slapping, and gliding beside the boat in their natural habitat.

Day 6 — Farewell
Enjoy a final quiet morning on the estancia before your private transfer across the steppe to the airport.
