17 Km. from Puerto Madryn is Estancia San Guillermo, where you can learn about cattle raising, water management, and the way in which man and environment joined at the beginning of the XX century.

Here you can do several activities related to life in the countrysde in permanent contact with nature. You can ride a horse and travel around the farm or go to Lobería de Punta Loma and see the sea wolves.
Another option is to go hiking and visit the pigs breeding sector, then down through deep creeks covered by the sea some 20.000.000 years ago and observe and touch the fossils, in a singular biology and paleontology lesson. |

The main attraction in the estancia is undoubtedly the educative talk and the shearing of sheep. You can learn through an interesting talk given by the owner of the estancia about the different techniques and cuts of this traditional labor. |

The multiple activities in Estancia San Guillermo include learning about plants and animals, and their different uses.
Guanacos have been domesticated to such an extent that they will probably get close to you for the picture, or even get into the the cask of the estancia. |
