You push off from a weathered Patagonian ranch into the open steppe, the wind crossing the plain and the Golfo Nuevo glinting ahead. The trail unfurls for about 10 kilometers—mostly controlled descents and rocky steppe tracks—until the sea draws near and the low cliffs of Punta Loma reveal a colony of barking sea lions.

You push off from a weathered Patagonian ranch into the open steppe, the wind crossing the plain and the Golfo Nuevo glinting ahead. The trail unfurls for about 10 kilometers—mostly controlled descents and rocky steppe tracks—until the sea draws near and the low cliffs of Punta Loma reveal a colony of barking sea lions.
This route threads geology and culture: Cerro Avanzada rises as the highest local point, its flanks of compacted sediment and wind-scoured scrub offering clear views over the gulf. The area has long been part of sheep-ranching estancias; riders get a sense of human scale against an exposed coastal landscape shaped by marine terraces and persistent Patagonian gales.
Expect a dynamic, low-impact ride: brief technical sections, firm singletrack, and wide service roads. Along the way, guides interpret local phytogeography and point out seabird roosts; the finish is a shoreline break with hot drinks and an up-close (but regulated) view of the sea lions in the Punta Loma Protected Area.
Practical essentials: the tour covers ~10 km over roughly 4 hours, mountain bike and helmet are provided, bottled water and a post-ride coffee are included, but entrance fees to the lobería are typically not. Moderate fitness is required; bring layered windproof clothing, sturdy shoes, sunscreen and respect posted wildlife buffers. The coastline here asserts itself—move carefully, keep distance from animals, and let the sea lions keep their space.
