This Protected Area is the only permanent refuge for sea lions, unlike the sea lion colonies of the Valdes peninsula, which are farmed or wintered. We can also observe medium-rise cliffs falling into the sea and extensive pebble beaches. From a ravine, there is a viewpoint from which we can observe the activity that dominates the colony according to the time of year (formation of harems, coupling and births). Breeding season begins in November, at which time males struggle to form their harem and mate. In the month of December and until the end of January the little ones are born. In this refuge also inhabits a colony of birds, rock cormorants that nest in clay walls, as well as South American gulls, among other seabirds and land birds
