Canadon de las Ostras

About

Stretching for kilometers along the beach, the District of Las Grutas unveils the beauty of natural rocks, inviting discovery in close proximity to El Sótano and Las Ostras Ravine. Embarking on a southward journey along the beach, travelers encounter the ancient formations of Piedras Coloradas after passing the sand hills where sandboarding enthusiasts revel. Fifteen kilometers later, the captivating El Sótano emerges, a spot renowned for its steep cliffs teeming with biological diversity, a haven for fishing and octopus enthusiasts. Las Ostras Ravine unfolds two kilometers away, offering an idyllic stroll along the shore, where shells and clams can be collected. The highlight is the discovery of fossilized and crystallized oysters, unveiled during low tide in small ponds that harbor sea fauna specimens. Venturing another 30 kilometers leads to the Fuerte Argentino plateau, a 153-meter-high vantage point resembling an ancient fortification. This panoramic balcony overlooking Gulf San Matías weaves tales of natives, pirates, and mythical treasures. With a golden sandy expanse, it provides an authentic beach experience, complemented by activities such as swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, and beachcombing.
