Why it's unique

A remote seaside lodge in Patagonia Azul Provincial Park that was established as a seaweed farm and became a nature lodge in “Argentina’s Galápagos.”

Tucked in a new provincial park, this exclusive 18-person lodge offers excursions by land and sea, exploring rugged coastlines and remote wildlife colonies. Wind down under expansive skies with wine from the lodge’s private vineyard—the only place on Earth to taste it.

Where it is

Patagonia Azul, Argentina

Bahía Bustamante Lodge

Patagonia Azul

A marine wilderness on Argentina’s coast, Patagonia Azul Park protects rich biodiversity and invites mindful exploration.

How To Get There

Fly into Comodoro Rivadavia, Trelew, or Puerto Madryn, and drive.

Flora & Fauna

There’s good reason for the Galápagos comparisons. Animals include sea lions, rheas, four types of whales, “panda” dolphins, Magellanic penguins and rare seabirds like the giant petrel.

Cultural Impact

Bahia Bustamante was a major driver in the creation of Patagonia Azul Provincial Park, along with Rewilding Argentina. Protection of the environment is their utmost priority.
