- Loberia de Punta Loma - This Protected Area serves as the only permanent sanctuary for sea lions, unlike the sea lion colonies on the Valdes Peninsula, which are either farmed or used seasonally. Visitors can also admire medium-height cliffs descending into the sea and expansive pebble beaches. From a ravine, there is a viewpoint offering a glimpse into the colony’s activities, which vary with the seasons (harem formation, mating, and births). The breeding season kicks off in November, when males compete to establish their harems and mate. From December to the end of January, the young are born. This refuge is also home to a bird colony, including rock cormorants nesting in clay walls, South American gulls, and various other seabirds and land birds.
