It is a geographical accident, where the entrance of the sea to the land is in a circular or "U" shape, smaller than a bay, typical of the coasts of the San Jorge Gulf. The “Caleta” was declared a Municipal Natural Reserve in 1992, in order to preserve the marine area and its biodiversity. It can be found many species can be found, such as gulls, cormorants and ducks; and during low tide, in the intertidal strip there are mussels, snails, clams, Magellan mussels, Blue mussels and purple mussels, sea stars, sea urchins, tiny barnacles, limpets and different types of algae.

It is a small metal house, which belongs belonged to Pedro Maimo. It is located near the coast. It belonged to Tulufio Maimo, who arrived in the city in 1913. The house is part of the Historical Heritage  of Caleta Olivia and there is a project to establish a museum there. It is currently one of the houses that is not occupied.

This is the first house in the city. It was built in 1903 and it belonged to the family of the German immigrant Ernesto Romberg, who came at the age of 25 to settle down in the area. He built his own house and he dedicated to cattle activity. This house is not declared as Cultural Heritage and it has suffered several modifications, but the sheet metal front is still maintained.

They are smaller than Blue mussels and can measure up to two centimeters long. They are bentonic organisms that can be observed in the intertidal zone of the beach, that is the sector that is exposed in the period of time in which the sea level is low. This These small organisms are very important to the marine ecosystem because they are the basis of the marine trophic (food) chain.

As some of us already know, the city of Caleta Olivia had its beginning after Captain Ezequiel Guttero arrived in the cove and hence its great historical value.
On the dock and in the same geographical accident we can find different types of birds, we observe on the structure three types of cormorants: that have the locality the cormorant biguá, the rock cormorant, the imperial cormorant and the well-known cook Kelp seagull.
Over the sea we can find other species such as the Crestón Crested and the Steamer ducks. ]]> 2019-10-30 14:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/vivianacroman/cte79pkwpl6o/wish/404451761 The Cliffs carlabrizuela0 https://padlet.com/vivianacroman/cte79pkwpl6o/wish/404453856 Patagonia is characterized by its rocky and sandy beaches, although a large part is composed of cliffs, some in the form of caves, which have been formed thanks to the erosion of the sea.

This erosion is also found in the stones that cover our coasts, these have a circular shape due to the movement of the waves, which are called (Canto Rodado) pebbles.

I could say that it is the only house that remains in its original state since if we see it, this house still has the characteristics of its initial construction. 
During that time, it was very common to build houses completely made of sheet metal due to strong winds. 
As Doris said, it is currently one of the houses that is not inhabited compared to the other houses where the descendants of the first settlers live.
An interesting fact is that this house was officially declared historical heritage of the province of Santa Cruz.  ]]> 2019-10-30 16:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vivianacroman/cte79pkwpl6o/wish/404575300 The first school https://padlet.com/vivianacroman/cte79pkwpl6o/wish/404576082 By Gisela Alanis
At the end of 2013 it became part of the National Program of School Archives and Museums. It was declared provincial historical heritage on Agust 7th, 2015.
 In the decade of 1920, it was a walking school. In 1942 the National Council of Education built the first building.

We can find in our coasts many types of algae, such as red, green and brown algae, also pig leather, coral seaweed, sea lettuce and many more.
The things that can be done with seaweed are impressive. Thailand, for example, and other parts of the Asian continent use the same algae that we have on our coasts for food preparation. Did you know that toothpaste and powdered milk also use them to prevent dryness? It really was a fact that I didn't know. Some hair creams, facial creams for wrinkles, soaps and more products are made with these marine plants.Another fact that might interest you: Kelp (Cachiyuyo) is the largest seaweed that exists, it measures 40 meters! can you imagine it? It would be like four Gorositos together.
In the photo we can see a sample of invasive algae, it is known as Undaria.]]> 2019-10-30 17:21:11 UTC https://padlet.com/vivianacroman/cte79pkwpl6o/wish/404598430 Yellow oil bouy. aomimizuki89 https://padlet.com/vivianacroman/cte79pkwpl6o/wish/404619546 Have you ever wondered what is that yellow dot that is seen in the distance in the sea? 
It is a buoy that was Swedish years ago and is currently Thai. When the tide is low, we can see pipes that connect the beach of the tanks with the buoy, these pipes measure 3 kilometers and through these pipes the oil passes when it must be loaded into the ship. 
If you look at a photo of the ship, you will notice that it has a pink stripe. When this strip has an intense pink color, it is because it is empty and when the strip is barely visible, it is because it is almost full. It's amazing!]]> 2019-10-30 17:48:59 UTC https://padlet.com/vivianacroman/cte79pkwpl6o/wish/404619546 The cave https://padlet.com/vivianacroman/cte79pkwpl6o/wish/404767843 By: Azul Hermosilla

If you remember, almost finishing the tour we could see some examples of the Patagonian flora. Many times people only see simple plants, but there is more than that. As we know, the climate of this area is very dry, so the plants have developed adaptation methods such as deep roots, thorns on the stems and even on the leaves to prevent water loss due to perspiration, light colors and leaves. curved or rolled to prevent evo- perspiration. Some of the plants we saw were the Molle, the cat's claw, the (Zampa) Salt bush, the Coliguay (Duraznillo), the Gumweed (Botón de oro), the False Thyme and more.

The fisherman dock   is a chosen place for cormorants settlement. This dock, the fisherman dock, was used by fishermen, and also by swimmers who jumped into the water from it, for that reason it was closed. Then, when YPF was privatized (and this has  to be with the economic activity of tourism) it started to be administered by TERMAP and they began to use the dock to control the discharge of fuel, a sea buoy that is connected to the oil tanks at the north entrance of the city. Every day and constantly you can see people going down the dock and go on a boat to where the buoy is.
When the wind is hard , 90 km/hour or more , this work can´be done. When the weather conditions are not the best,  the discharge of fuel is not authorized, because of security ,but every when, or every 2,3 or 4 days the fuel discharged.                                                                                                          Lucia Villegas.

It's the space that you can see when the tide is low. There are two low and two high tides per day. The high tides are very  different from the low tidies. There are six meters of difference,and six hours between one low tide, and one high tide.

Its diet is varied: it feeds from garbage, because of that it lives everywhere , in the coast, in the mountains,and steppe.
The seagull is very annoying, for example it pecks to the whales which have small crustaceans, small crabs on their backs.
