About
Islote Lobos National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Islote Lobos) is a protected natural area located over the San Matías Gulf on the Atlantic coast of Río Negro province, about 50 km from the town of Sierra Grande and adjacent to the town of Playas Doradas, San Antonio department, in Argentine Patagonia. The park is a coastal strip of approximately 20 km that includes a complex of six rocky promontories close to the shore: Lobos, La Pastosa, Ortiz Norte, Ortiz Sur, Redondo, and de los Pájaros.
From a phytogeographic perspective, the terrestrial part corresponds to the ecoregion of plains and plateaus. The area has had provincial protection since 1977, and on 30 July 2020, the project to convert it into a national park was announced.
