Punta Loma, Natural reserve on the Nuevo Gulf coast near Puerto Madryn, Argentina.
The reserve extends along medium-sized cliffs overlooking pebble beaches where South American sea lions gather in colonies near the shoreline.
Established in 1967, Punta Loma became the first protected natural area in Chubut province, focusing on preserving marine wildlife populations.
The reserve functions as an educational center where visitors learn about marine ecosystems and Patagonian wildlife through guided observation platforms.
Visitors can access the reserve by following Brown Boulevard southeast from Puerto Madryn and continuing on Provincial Route 1 toward the sea lion colony.
Male sea lions in the colony reach weights of 350 kilos and establish their territories during November, forming groups with multiple females.
