Bahia Bustamante (Seaweed Village and Patagonian ranch) is a place that many don’t get to. It is quite a bit further south than the Valdes Peninsula and there are just 4 houses. It is perfect for those who love to be surrounded by nature and wildlife.

Since 1952, the village of Bahia Bustamante has been exclusively devoted to the seaweed harvest. At the beginning, 500 people lived here. At that time wagons pulled by horses were used to collect the crops. Some 40 inhabitants live in Bahía Bustamante and all are devoted to seaweed production in this unique village”. You will also have the opportunity to see a wide variety of birds and marine mammals. There are lovely beaches to be discovered with white sands and turquoise clear waters. There is also a petrified forest in the area and which can be visited during your stay. There are also about 20,000 sheep here...
The food is delicious and local produce is used wherever possible such as marine algae (seaweed), lamb, fish and shellfish. All vegetables are grown locally and homemade marmalades and jams are made from fruits grown on the estancia, served with scrummy home-made bread.
Along with your English-speaking guide you will be hosted by Matias, the owner of Bahia Bustamante.
