Many people just refer to the city as Comodoro, and it's located on the San Jorge Gulf in southern Argentina. It's a port city with a long history in petroleum and energy rather than tourism. But there are many things to see and do in Comodoro Rivadavia if you are staying in the area.
North of Comodoro Rivadavia is a small fishing village, Caleta Cordoba, and there is a nice lighthouse in the area that many people stop to see. It's also a good spot to do a little fishing while you're there.
Windmill Farm
The largest wind farm in South America is near Comodoro Rivadavia, and it provides 20% of the city's power needs. The large wind turbines are very impressive and make an interesting sight in the Patagonian countryside.
Rada Tilly
One of the biggest attractions in the area is the coastal town of Rada Tilly, located a short drive to the south of Comodoro Rivadavia. A number of resorts have been built to accommodate the growing number of tourists who come to see the coast for fishing and water sports. Along the coast, you can take part in windsurfing, scuba diving and snorkelling as well as just walking along the beaches. Fishing charters of all kinds are very busy, and you can arrange to fish for salmon and sea bass farther out in the ocean. With the windy location, landsailing is also a popular and unique sport you can try.
National Museum of Petroleum
Known locally as the Oil Museum, the city is home to the National Museum of Petroleum. The museum shows off the rich industrial history of Comodoro Rivadavia and exhibits house many old pieces of petroleum equipment and a replica oil well.
Chenque Hill
Chenque Hill is a high hill, right next to the downtown area, and offers a great place for walking to see a view of the city. There is a legend that says if you take anything from the hill, you will be cursed for 100 years because it is a burial ground under the hill. Even if you don't believe such a legend, you should not dig up anything out of respect.
