Punta Perdices is the destination for lovers of wild and solitary beaches, a corner of the Patagonian coast to relax and connect with nature.

Located near Puerto San Antonio Este, 65 kilometers from Las Grutas, in the province of Río Negro, Punta Perdices is the coastal jewel known as the "Patagonian Caribbean", an idyllic refuge that captivates all those lucky enough to visit it.

Como si fuera el Caribe

La costa rionegrina guarda un secreto. Se trata de una playa escondida en el interior de la bahía de San Antonio, accesible a través de Puerto San Antonio Este. Siguiendo la ruta 3 y el empalme con la ruta 1 y avanzando por un camino que comienza en el Mirador Norte, podrán acceder a este paraíso con tono de mar Caribe. Punta Perdices se encuentra en el norte de la península de Villarino. Para llegar, es necesario contar con un vehículo propio, ya que el transporte público solo llega hasta el puerto de San Antonio Este.

The blue sea stands out from afar and contrasts with the white beaches covered by shells, an image that evokes Caribbean postcards. However, those colors intertwine in a Patagonian landscape that transmits immensity, near the port of San Antonio Este. The sand is dotted with shells bleached by the sun. Also known as Caleta Falsa, this natural wonder enters the continent a surprisingly beautiful arm of the sea, where the landscape is transformed twice a day with the change of the tide.

La conjunción de Caribe y Patagonia juega en la imagen que se despliega ante los ojos, el mar y el cielo se fusionan en toda su grandiosidad en la bahía. Punta Perdices es uno de los destinos cálidos para disfrutar de las playas agrestes y solitarias y las posibilidades del kayak o el stand up en aguas tranquilas. Para los pescadores, hay opciones de pesca embarcada.

Punta Perdices is a paradise for birdwatchers, as it is home to a great variety of seabirds that find refuge on its shores. For those looking for options, a nautical trip to Punta Villarino, where there is a sea lion colony, offers a unique experience. Another nearby destination to visit is La Conchilla, located on Route 3, to enjoy the natural beauty of the Patagonian coast and breathe the fresh sea air.

Si buscan servicios, visiten el Parador Serena que ofrece aprovisionamiento, cafetería, alquiler de kayaks y excursiones en semirrígidos. Es vital recordar que la naturaleza aquí es frágil y debe preservarse. Los vehículos no pueden transitar por la playa y es responsabilidad de cada visitante llevarse consigo sus residuos.
