Punta Pirámides

"Before going all the way down into the town of Puerto Piramides, there is a turn off to the right. Just follow it a couple minutes down a dirt road, which will bring you to a look out point. There are a few spots to look down at the elephant seals on the cliffs below. There are not a lot of roads in the peninsula, and the majority of them are dirt (ripio). After you pass by Puerto Piramides, you basically have three options to head to, which are all connected by a series of dirt roads: Punta Norte: This is the most northern point of the peninsula. There are a few estancias in the area: San Lorenzo and Punta Norte. The best months for visiting this point are in the summer where it is more likely to see penguins, whales, orcas, and elephant seals. Caleta Valdes: This is a long strip of land that goes along the center of the east coast of the peninsula. There are several spots where you can stop to see penguins, birds, sea lions, elephant seals, and even orcas if you’re lucky. There is even a lighthouse in the area with a restaurant, rest stop, and a nature walk. Punta Delgada: This is at the southeastern edge of the peninsula, and has a large colony of elephant seals."

" The tourist natural reserve Punta Pirámides was created in 1974 and has an area of 132 hectares. It has an estimated 40,000 visitors per year. The purpose of its creation was to protect an area of breeding grounds for sea lions and breeding colonies of several species of birds. It is also an observation site for southern right whales and an area of paleontological outcrops. "
