Despite its continental location, connected with the Atlantic Ocean through an estuary, Puerto Deseado resembles an island. Its geographical layout is what proposes so many interesting places to visitors in the area. There are plenty of boat and land excursions, which offer the possibility of becoming deeply acquainted with the Natural Reserve Ría Deseado, so unique due to its geology and to the fact that five species of cormorants dwell together on it, as well as Magellanic penguins that, from October to April, nest on islands Quiroga, Chaffers, de los Pájaros and on Punta del Paso islet; places like Cabo Blanco, with its lighthouse and its wuthering cliffs, Bahía Laura, Bahía Oso Marino and Cañadón del Duraznillo, are also considered to be natural lookouts to enjoy the wildlife in the area. If you are fond of birds, Puerto Deseado is the ideal place to find them.
