The place

Bahía San Blas

What makes of Isla del Jabalí a fishing paradise? Without a doubt, the result of a combination of many factors: it has few waves (due to the presence of many islands) but it`s not deep enough to be a sea bottom, and it is situated in a privileged enclave, where the Argentinean Sea reaches the shore with its waters, that is also warm in winter, thanks to the Brazilian Current.

In front of the coast there are a number of islands, like Isla de los Césares (Caesars Island), Isla del Sur (Island of the South), Isla Flamenco (Flamingo Island), Isla Gama and Isla del Jabalí and many others, many of which can be seen from the boardwalk in San Blas. Isla del Jabalí is sometimes an island, when the water rises and the ria grows to separate the only strip of earth that connects island to continent. Others, it is considered a peninsula, when both portions of earth are connected in Paso Seco (Dry Path).

Isla del Jabalí is located in the southern coast of the province of Buenos Aires, 100 kilometers from Carmen de Patagones, 340 from Bahía Blanca and 986 from Buenos Aires (the capital city). On the shore, the small fisherman’s town of Bahía San Blas is a place that offers many facilities from fishing gear, grocer’s shops, lodging to petrol station.
