Cabo Polonio Dunes & 4x4 Truck Ride
Dunas de Cabo Polonio
Shifting dunes inside the national park. To reach the village, you ride an open-top off-road truck across the dunes and beach, a trip of about 25 minutes.
Cabo Polonio lies within a national park protected area. A stretch of shifting dunes about 7 km wide separates the village from the road, and private cars are not allowed. Visitors buy tickets at the Polonio Gate car park beside Route 10, then ride open-top off-road trucks that bounce across the dunes and beach into the village, an experience in itself. You can also walk through the dunes to the village in about 1.5 hours, but bring water and keep your bearings. The dunes are a great place to watch the sunset. In summer, the sand gets scorching hot during the day.
