The Patagonian coasts present continuous cliffs, interrupted at times by areas
of great dunes.
The water temperature varies a lot along the coast. In the north the sea
receives the influence of warm currents from Brazil that enter the San Matías
Gulf, warming the beach waters in the area.
Further south you can feel the cold streams from the Malvinas Islands, which
support the life of animal species like the penguins,
elephant seals and birds belonging
to the Antarctic fauna. Further into the sea there are whales
and dolphins.
The landscape is desert-like, with scarce vegetation, except the lower valleys
of the Negro and Chubut rivers.
The distances as in the rest of Patagonia are enormous and the populated centers
are scattered.
A great number of virgin beaches, its fauna and adventure are the
main characteristics of the region.
