The things worth doing in Cabo Polonio, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.
Climb the 132 lighthouse steps
Thursday to Sunday only, 10-13 and 14-17, 35 pesos. The view takes in the dunes, both beaches and the sea lion islands.
Watch the sea lions
Thousands of lobos marinos haul out on the rocks under the lighthouse all year. No boat needed and no ticket โ just walk down.
Ride the dune truck
The 4x4 crossing from Puerta del Polonio is an attraction in itself: 20 minutes standing in an open truck bed over dunes and beach.
Walk to Valizas over the dunes
About 7km each way with a short boat crossing of the Valizas stream. No shade, no water, no phone signal โ go early and take supplies.
Live without power for a day
Solar panels, small wind turbines, well water and candles. Charge everything before you come and bring a battery pack.
