Travel Guide Punta Norte

Punta Norte is located in the north of the peninsula. Colonies of elephant seals and sea lions laze on the beach and parade around during the mating season. It is therefore the privileged hunting ground for killer whales and it is here that this almost unique phenomenon takes place: the killer whales come ashore on the beach to be able to catch the sea lions that are at the water's edge, about 2 hours before or after high tide. A little further west, at the Estancia San Lorenzo, a colony of Magellanic penguins, the largest on the peninsula, is installed. Between September and February there are about 270,000 individuals
