Puerto Deseado

Puerto Deseado sits on a rugged estuary where Patagonia’s least visited coast feels raw and untamed. Two penguin species—rockhoppers with their spiky crests and Magellanics with their burrowed colonies—live along the cliffs and islands just offshore. Venturing into the water reveals another side: Commerson’s dolphins move past like torpedoes, while massive elephant seals lay on the beaches and occasionally share the currents with rogue divers.
