Mount León

30 Km. to the south of Comandante Luis Piedra Buena there is a spot where the Argentine Sea leans over the patagonian steppe. This place is Monte León.

To get to this region you must drive along National Route 3 to the south, pass by the cattle breeding farm called Monte León, and take the road to the beach.

In this sector you can walk in the caves formed by the sea, which is constantly slashing against the high cliffs, a visual spectacle that changes according to where the sun is playing with the sky and the salty water.
Mount León
This place is meant to be the first National Park on the Argentine continental coast and the first Marine National Park in the country.

These caves disseminated near Monte León give shelter to colonies of sea birds and mammals, which search for places like this one to mate and breed their offsprings.

There are Imperial and Rock Cormorants, Seagulls, Black Oyster Catchers and Biguaes among other species.
Mount León
As regards lodging, we recommend Estancia Monte León in the center on this reserve, which has excellent facilities and high quality service. Here you can enjoy any of the possibilities offered by this beautiful place.
