Posted on 05. Feb, 2008 by martina in Tips

Located in the Gulf of San Jorge, is the most important urban center of Patagonia . In 1907, looking for water, oil was found, thanks to this fact, the future was that of marking.
I will not explain my trip to Commodore, what I did or what did not. No travel for tourism Commodore, because I was born there so I visit whenever I go to Argentina.
Not a tourist place, but it is a gateway to the southern coastal corridors, passes through here, the well known National Route 3. You can visit, 250 km., The penguin colony of shrimp, or even the petrified forest of Sarmiento.
With a landscape of mountains, sea and wind, Commodore , is typical Chenque visit the hill for a panoramic view of the city and settled in neighborhoods shows deep ravines sheltered from the wind.
With intense oil, add the oil wealth of the wool, and capture the heart of shrimp and crab fishing of prized quality.
The wind is very well used to economic performance, Commodore has its own wind farm.
In Comodoro wind can sometimes can reach 160 km. / Hr.
If you pass by Commodore, do not miss the beach in the waterfront, the museum of oil , and Antonio Moran wind farm.
Commodore is a clear example of arid climate, with blue sea, which contracts with the hills. In addition, a very nice trip to do is visit Rada Tilly , a spa that is enclosed by two hills: Punta Piedras and Punta Marquez, with a reserve of sea lions. It has a long beach to walk, also to practice: sand yachting (sailing carts pushed by the wind). This activity is a symbol of this place, windy days make it easy to perform.

Finally a photo of sea lions ...

and the Patagonian sunset on the beach of Rada Tilly.
