Home to a permanent sea-lion colony and cormorant rookery, the Reserva Faunística Punta Loma is 17km southwest of Puerto Madryn via a good but winding gravel road. The overlook is about 15m from the animals, best seen during low tides. Many travel agencies organize two-hour tours according to the tide schedules; otherwise, check tide tables and hire a car or taxi, or make the trek via bicycle.
