Description
The area of El Doradillo is visited every season by a group of mother whales with calves. Due to the calm of its waters and the unusual depth of the coast (due to its steep slope), the whales come very close to the beach. The latter makes coastal sighting possible, with a high probability of finding these animals only 15 or 20 meters from the coast. The output is scheduled for 11 am and for 4 pm. The morning departure includes a picnic lunch on the beach with chicken sandwich, handmade alfajor and all kinds of drinks, and a very complete afternoon snack with coffee, tea, hot chocolate and delicacies. In both exits a trekking is contemplated without difficulty crossing 1000 meters of footpaths on the cliffs accompanied by guides interpreters.
