Audio Guide of Playa Union

Playa Union is a public space and is therefore open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no entry requirements. You can enjoy its scenery and activities at any time. Ideal for an unforgettable sunrise or sunset!

Good news! Access to Playa Union is completely free. There are no entrance fees or charges to enter the beach. However, please note that water activities and food services are paid.

It depends on what you are looking for. For a relaxed walk and to enjoy the scenery, 2 to 3 hours is enough. If you plan activities such as Commerson's dolphin watching, water sports, or simply relaxing on the sand, you may need half a day or even a full day. The idea is to enjoy it at your own pace!

Absolutely! Its name, Playa Union, comes from the union of the steam railway from what was then the territorial capital, Rawson, with the sea. It is a place with port and fishing history, and it is famous for being one of the few places in the world where you can spot Commerson's dolphins, a very distinctive dolphin species.

To enjoy the sun and the sea, the best time is summer, from December to March. If your main interest is watching Commerson's dolphins, September to April is ideal. Early in the morning or at sunset, the light is beautiful and the atmosphere is calmer, perfect for photos and walks.

The Municipality of Rawson has made infrastructure improvements for accessibility, such as beach access ramps in some areas and wooden walkways during the summer season. I recommend checking with the local tourist office for more detailed and updated information about accessible points (official website).

Very close to Playa Union, you should not miss the Port of Rawson, where you will see fishing activity and be able to taste fresh products. You can also visit the Rawson Bird Interpretation Center to learn about local wildlife and the mouth of the Chubut River.

Of course! I suggest bringing sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, especially in summer. If you are going to watch Commerson's dolphins, bring binoculars and patience. Do not forget your camera to capture the beautiful scenery. And please be a responsible tourist: take your waste with you and respect nature. Enjoy Patagonia to the fullest!
