Isla 32 Recreation Area

Seven kilometers from the urban area of General Roca is the most important coast recreation area in the region, known as Isla 32.
You can access to this singular area through Primeros Pobladores street, the continuation of Mendoza street, or via Viterbori Avenue, the continuation of Roca Av. to the south of route 22 on the left margin of the river Negro.

    Here you can enjoy many activities such as swimming, gymnastics, football and volleyball.
    Isla 32 is an ideal place to spend some magnificent holidays in the sun in January and February, immersed in the captivating waters of the public beach.
    The site has all facilities: very good bathrooms, grills, a store, cleaning and security service, and a 2000 m² swimming-pool where you will have the opportunity to take swimming classes free.

In the surroundings of Isla 32 there are eleven private clubs, among which stand out General Roca Golf Club, Huitru Polo Club and the Spanish Association Club with swimming-pools, "quinchos", and a variety of sports fields.

If you visit this zone when we recommend, you can enjoy the activities organized by the Municipality of General Roca, specially for children and adolescents.
In this oasis in the middle of the High Valley you will find trees such as willows, terebinth shrubs, poplars, and aquatic birds like black-necked swans, cormorants, herons, bald coots and ducks, all protected by conservationist laws.

You can also visit "El Náutico", another beautiful place situated on the east of the highway bridge. To get there you must cross the bridge and take the first turning on the left, a pebble coast emplaced over the main branch of the river Negro where you can practise jet ski, rowing and other aquatic activities, always respecting safety rules and bearing in mind that the stream in this place is very strong.

If you feel like spending a more tranquil outdoor journey, we recommend you drive 1 km. farther to the west of the highway bridge and go to "Balsa Vieja".

    This pebble coast, which is covered by the water in the winter, is good for picnics with the family or friends.
    You must take into account that this area does not have any services, and due to the characteristics of the river in this sector, swimming in the river is not allowed.
    If you visit the High Valley in summer, do not miss the opportunity to enjoy the best beach resorts in the area, as good as any of the best known beaches in the country.
