Kayak with Sea Lions

This excursion combines the joy of paddling alongside sea lions with the Patagonian wilderness. We'll experience an adventurous trip to the Punta Loma Protected Natural Area, a permanent breeding and nesting site for South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens).

Through low-intensity physical activity, we will enjoy the ecosystems of the Patagonian Steppe, the sea, and the coast, observing medium-height cliffs that fall into the sea and extensive pebble beaches, along with diverse panoramic views ideal for nature lovers and photographers. This rookery is also home to various bird species such as Rock Cormorants (which build their nests on the clay walls), Gulls, Terns, and Petrels, among other marine and land birds.
