Humedal Caleta Olivia

Humedal Caleta Olivia is a natural wetland reserve with shallow water areas and reed beds located between the coastal highway and Las Flores Avenue. The site hosts a variety of water birds and vegetation adapted to southern Patagonian conditions.

The area became an official municipal and provincial protected zone in 2000. Since then it has been managed by Caleta Olivia Municipality and the Santa Cruz Agricultural Council.

Local schools and environmental groups regularly use this place for outdoor education and bird watching activities. The wetland has become an important gathering point for residents interested in nature.

Access is available through marked paths near the coastal highway. Early morning provides the best conditions for observing birds, when most species are most active.

The wetland is connected to Primera Laguna through a specialized pipeline system that creates an interconnected water network. This arrangement helps regulate water flow between the two areas and supports local wildlife.
