Barra de Valizas
A hippie town at the river mouth, reachable on foot over the Buena Vista dunes to Cabo Polonio. Its atmosphere is relaxed.
Barra de Valizas lies about 8 km north of Cabo Polonio, at the mouth of the Valizas River. It is a hippie seaside town known for its dirt roads, colourful cabins and handicraft markets, and prices are lower than in Cabo Polonio. Just outside the town, Cerro de la Buena Vista (Buena Vista Dune) is one of the highest dunes along the South American Atlantic coast. You can cross the river from town and hike over the dunes to Cabo Polonio in about 3 hours. Bring plenty of water and sunscreen, and watch the depth of the river mouth when the tide is high.
