Las Grutas, Beach resort in San Antonio Department, Argentina
The coastal town sits along the San Matías Gulf, featuring natural caves formed by sea erosion and twelve designated beach access points.
Founded in 1964, Las Grutas expanded from basic campsites into a tourist destination, with substantial development occurring through the 1980s.
The town maintains strong connections to Argentinian coastal traditions, with local festivals celebrating maritime heritage and regional customs throughout the year.
Las Grutas provides accommodation options ranging from hotels to camping sites, with beach activities determined by daily tidal schedules.
Natural stone pools near access point Zero fill and empty with tides, creating sun-warmed swimming areas during low tide periods.

Argentina extends across multiple climate zones and contains numerous geological formations. The country encompasses high mountain ranges in the Andes, salt flats in the northwest, rock formations in Patagonia, and extensive grasslands. These areas display the region's geological history and the adaptation of human settlements to different environments. The sites include volcanic craters, thermal springs, canyons, and historic villages. Many of these locations lie away from main routes and require several hours of travel. The regions document pre-Columbian cultures, colonial history, and traditional ways of life that continue today.
