Description

Total distance: 25 km · Medium difficulty · Duration: 5 hours with stops 1. Heading south: We'll set off from Alpataco along the coastal Rambla and the quiet southern neighborhoods. On the left, you'll see CENPAT-CONICET and San Juan Bosco University, our city's science hubs. At CENPAT, there's a mural worth stopping for; on the right, the Atlantic sets our course. 2. Plateau trails: The pavement's behind us. We pedal among molles, jarillas, and coirones; if it rained the day before, the air smells of jarilla. 3. Playa Paraná & the Folias shipwreck: First break. In front of us is the hull of the fishing boat Folias, which ran aground in 1980 just 300 m from the coast; at low tide, its structure emerges completely. Perfect for photos and a mate by the sea. 4. Punta Loma Seal Sanctuary: After 5 km more of gravel, we'll reach the first protected area of Chubut. We'll leave the bikes and, from the viewpoint, we'll contemplate the permanent colony of fur seals: howls, dips, and black-necked cormorants in low flight. Interpretation talk + Patagonian snack. 5. Coastal return: We'll head back via Playa Paraná (lower area) to see the shipwreck in a different light and, with the slope in our favor, we'll pedal straight to Puerto Madryn. Perfect ending with a view of the gulf and a feeling of mission accomplished. Ready to pedal to Puerto Madryn's most iconic wildlife? Book your spot today with Alpataco.
