Puerto Caleta La Misión

Puerto Caleta La Misión is a maritime port facility in Río Grande extending into the Argentine Sea. The infrastructure features a pier approximately 600 meters long with a double-lane viaduct structure near National Route 3.

The project began in December 1997 with planned construction, but financial difficulties caused work to halt by late 1998. This led to prolonged legal disputes and multiple attempts to revive the project.

The port project represents an essential component of Tierra del Fuego's maritime infrastructure, connecting the region to international shipping routes.

The site is accessible from National Route 3 and provides access to the southern coastal area of Tierra del Fuego. The location sits in a windy region with rough sea conditions that require proper preparation for visits.

The facility remains incomplete for decades, with visible construction structures bearing witness to halted work and financial struggles. This abandoned infrastructure tells the story of ambitious projects that failed to materialize in the remote southern region.
