Located in the province of Rio Negro, Las grutas is the second favorite destination for tourists who travel to the Argentinean Patagonia. It is almost three kilometers of coast, beaches where you can also see amazing cliffs that add beauty to the area, with blue and transparent water that mirror the sky above them.

A few miles away from there, you can find San Antonio Oeste, another summer villa where hotel, gastronomic and tourism infrastructure has been more developt.
