Bahía Bustamente, Argentina

The desire for good-looking hair led to the creation of a good-looking town. Searching for seaweed, Don Lorenzo Soriano happened upon this shoreline and discovered a bounty of seaweed he could use for the manufacturing of his hairspray products. With the creation of a seaweed farm, the isolated nature-loving town of Bahía Bustamente was born. Today, Lorenzo’s grandson, Matias, and his wife Astrid Perkins, continue the tradition of inhabiting this land, and welcome guests to take in the Patagonian landscape at the Bahía Bustamente Lodge and grounds. Thanks to our friends at Visit Argentina, we explore this unique coastal region and its Lodge that provides the ultimate “off-the-grid” exploration, discovering wildlife from lizards to penguins along the way.
