Caleta Olivia - Punta del Marques - Comodoro Rivadavia

Chile 2023

Itinerary

Actually, we got tired of such long drives :)
So today is a "rest" day; we’re not going far, to the city of Comodoro Rivadavia.

It’s cloudy in the morning.

We wanted to take a little walk along the waterfront in the town where we stayed, Caleta Olivia.

But it was somehow unfriendly and cold, so we set off again almost immediately.

On the way, we want to stop by Punta del Marques; Serzhyk read that a colony of sea lions lives on the rocks there.

When we arrived at Punta del Marques, a heavy downpour began.

Serzhyk took out a thermos and cookies. We wanted to wait out the rain.

And indeed, about 10 minutes later it became sunny; the rain cloud was probably blown away by the strong wind.

We paid $2 each for "entry."
We were given binoculars and went to the edge of the cape.

We saw only one little lion.
But it was fun to look at the world through binoculars.

I wished we had our own binoculars, but how would we travel with them?....

Today and tomorrow we are staying on the outskirts of the city of Comodoro Rivadavia in a private two-story house.
