Kayak & Sea Lions: Navigate the Punta Loma Protected Natural Area

I had a unique experience in Patagonia: I paddled through the waters of the Golfo Nuevo until I reached the Punta Loma Protected Natural Area, home to a permanent colony of South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens).

From a double kayak, you will discover pristine beaches, cliffs and the vastness of the sea while learning about coastal ecosystems from a sustainable and respectful perspective.

Ideal for those seeking a connection with nature, wildlife photography, and a dose of peaceful adventure. All with a Professional guide who speaks Spanish and English (check availability of French, Italian or Portuguese).
