Audio Guide of the Railway Station

Puerto Deseado Train Station is a historic open-air site, so you can generally visit its exterior areas and see the trains on display during daylight hours. To get there, head to the port area of Puerto Deseado, on Hipólito Yrigoyen Street. We recommend checking with the Local Tourist Office to confirm any possible restrictions or access to indoor facilities.

No, access to the grounds of the former Puerto Deseado Train Station and viewing the outdoor carriages and locomotives is completely free. It is a public space where you can enjoy railway history at no cost.

To get a good feel for the place and take some photos, we recommend setting aside between 30 minutes and one hour. If you are a railway history enthusiast, you may want to extend your visit a bit longer to appreciate the details of the carriages and the architecture.

Puerto Deseado Train Station is an important remnant of the Patagonian Railway, a key project for the development of Patagonia in the early 20th century. It represents the vital connection the city had with the interior of the province and stands as a tangible testimony to the golden age of railways in Argentina, transporting wool and mining products.

Spring and summer, from October to March, offer the most pleasant weather conditions for visiting Puerto Deseado and, therefore, the train station. During the day, early morning or sunset are ideal for photography, as the light is softer and will help you capture spectacular images of the trains.

Since it is an open-air site with open spaces, general accessibility is good. However, because it is an old station, some surfaces may be uneven. We recommend contacting the Puerto Deseado Tourism Department for specific information about access and facilities for wheelchairs or visitors with reduced mobility.

Puerto Deseado has a lot to offer! Very close by, you have the port, ideal for seeing the fishing activity. You should not miss a trip along the Deseado Estuary, a declared Natural Reserve, where you can spot rockhopper penguins. We also suggest visiting the Mario Brozoski Municipal Museum on the same pier to learn about the region’s natural and cultural history.

Of course! We suggest bringing your camera, as the old trains are very photogenic. If you are interested in history, look up information in advance about the railway branch line so you can appreciate even more of what you are seeing. Also, since it is an open-air space, a hat and sunscreen in summer, or a warm coat in winter, will be your best allies for enjoying your visit comfortably.
