The
Patagonian Beaches corridor, in the Provinces of
Río Negro and
Chubut, offers an excellent touristic combination, where kilometers of temperate waters and a variety of landscapes mingle with majestic cliffs, dunes, shoals, with countless fishing as well as sports and recreational possibilities.
These coasts present an extraordinary diversity where sandy or muddy beaches alternate with pebble accumulations, quartz rock massifs or abrupt cliffs.
The coastline has an extension of 4,500 km. The cold current called the Falkland Current, which flows to the North, meets with the warm Current of Brazil, with its subtropical species of animals.
The most renowned city in this area is
Puerto Madryn, known as the starting point for most of whale watching tours.
This corridor joins different cities as well as routes and provincial roads through National Route Nº 3 to get to all the beaches in this region.
