"Absolute beauty, the most beautiful thing I saw there. All of Villa Langostura is beautiful."
Paola Maidana
"I loved it!!! Just looking at the photos will give you a sense of the beauty of the landscape, and being able to contemplate Southern Argentina amidst so much beauty is worth a visit and spending hours doing whatever you want—drinking mate, reading, etc. A few meters away, there's a small market with various stalls. There's also a cafe and two restaurants."
Filippo C
"It's one of the best beaches I've seen in Patagonia.
The water is crystal clear. Peaceful, quiet... There's a dock where you can board boats to various islands and excursions.
The depth is from where the dock ends.
Ideal for a family getaway, to relax and unwind.
Bring enough gear for a day trip because it's a bit remote."
