Cabo Polonio Village
Cabo Polonio
A hippie fishing village with no roads and no power grid. Colourful wooden huts are scattered among the dunes, lit by candles and solar power at night, and the stargazing is superb.
The village has only about a hundred permanent residents. Most of the huts were built by fishermen and artists. They are painted in vivid colours and have no unified power grid or running water. Lighting comes from solar power, wind power and candles. A few restaurants serve fried fish, seafood patties and grilled fish. In peak season there are simple bars and handicraft stalls. Only by staying overnight can you experience the Milky Way free of light pollution and the lighthouse beam. There are no ATMs in the village, so bring cash. Fresh water is precious, so use it sparingly.
