Caleta Olivia, Oil production center in Deseado Department, Argentina.
The industrial municipality stands on the San Jorge Gulf near the Atlantic Ocean, maintaining active petroleum extraction operations and fishing activities.
Founded in 1901 by Navy Lieutenant Exequiel Guttero, the settlement received its name from a ship named Olivia discovered during telegraph line construction.
The San Jorge Gulf region preserves marine life with sea lion colonies located 10 kilometers from the city center within designated nature reserves.
The municipal sports complex provides recreational facilities while nearby beaches La Escondida, Playa Bonita, and La Loberia offer fishing opportunities.
El Gorosito monument depicts oil workers and represents the city's contribution of natural resources from Patagonia to other regions of Argentina.
