To fully enjoy La Lobería, it is advisable to bring appropriate clothing for the coastal climate, sunscreen, sunglasses, and to check the tide conditions to take advantage of the natural pools that form during low tide. Additionally, it is essential to bring a camera to capture the fauna, flora, and landscapes that this Patagonian corner has to offer.
The name La Lobería comes from the fact that just 3 km away is the protected natural area of Punta Bermeja, which is home to one of the largest continental colonies of South American sea lions in the world.

The tall cliffs protect beaches with sandy areas, giving this place a distinctive touch located 60 km from Viedma, accessible via provincial route No. 1, which runs along the extensive maritime coast of Argentine Patagonia.
