Puerto de San Antonio Este

The port facility stretches along the northern edge of Villarino Peninsula, featuring extensive docking infrastructure and modern cargo handling equipment at Gulf San Matías.

The port commenced operations in 1983 and developed into a primary maritime gateway for exporting fruits and goods from the Rio Negro Valley region.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at nearby Punta Perdices, where seasonal catches include silverside and various marine species throughout the year.

The port complex includes multiple loading terminals, storage facilities, and a management center that coordinates maritime traffic and cargo operations daily.

The natural deep-water conditions of the harbor allow large vessels to dock directly, making it one of the few Patagonian ports requiring no continuous dredging.
