The Valdés Peninsula is considered a World Heritage.

HOTEL FARO PUNTA DELGADA
Originally, the place was Correo Argentino’s main office and the Argentine Navy’s casino. Today, it is an exclusive romantic hotel, where you can enjoy all the comfort in a naturally wild environment.

The hotel boasts 27 warmly decorated rooms, a pub, a restaurant and a boutique.

From the moment you wake up until you go to bed, the hotel plays an undisputed role on a holiday in which absolutely everything is connected to pleasure and nature harmony.

PUNTA DELGADA LIGHTHOUSE
In a magically clear atmosphere stands an alert lighthouse.

Located at a strategic spot, it protects vessels from sandbars. These sandbars form a wide dark green stone coast that, when covered by tides, becomes extremely dangerous for sailors navigating the untamed South Atlantic Ocean.

The lighthouse has life of its own and the spirit of pioneers of the Argentine Army remains inside, the spirit of those who first drifted along these lands filled with passion and adventure.

At night, the lighthouse is the star. Its light beam goes through the mist giving a glimpse of magic and guiding vessels in the dark since 1905.

Gazing into its guiding light, the lighthouse offers an endless journey to new horizons.

Punta Delgada lighthouse was first lighted on May 1st 1905.


RESTAURANTE
With its tones of ochre and white, creating an intimate and cosy atmosphere, the all-wood restaurant offers meals along with an efficiently discrete service, home-made dishes and exquisite flavours to indulge all palates.

The restaurant’s main dish is Patagonic lamb served with various accompaniments captivating restaurant guests with the typical Argentine flavour.

For wine lovers, a good variety of white and red wines cheers their hearts and warms their souls.

The restaurant also delights guests with other exquisite delicacies - some original, some traditional, but all home-made.

THE COAST
On the beach, the sea moistens the environment and the sound travels in the air. Energetic tides piling up against the coast to form cliffs and caves blend into the magnificent scenery.

The beach houses a colony of elephant seals. Valdés Peninsula is the only continental post of elephant seals in the world.

Characterised by its large size, the male’s trunk, and the female’s deep and tender look, this magnificent species makes the land a passionate place.

When the sky tinges red as the sun goes down, the elephant seals seem to mingle with the immense sea while the spectator plunges into the immutable nature.
