The town of La Caleta is located in the southern sector of the Mar Chiquita District, on the Atlantic coast of the province of Buenos Aires.
It is located between Mar de Cobo and Camet Norte, with direct access from Provincial Route Nº11.
Its most important geographical feature is the mouth of the Los Cueros stream into the sea, a point where fresh, salt water and coastal environments converge in a very small space.
La Caleta is a small, quiet town with a natural profile, low population density and limited urbanization.
It is not a traditional beach resort: its appeal lies not in mass services, but in the landscape and tranquility.
The environment combines open beaches, stream margins, grasslands and low dune sectors.
This creates a dynamic environment where the landscape changes according to tides, weather and seasons. It is an ideal place for walks, environmental observation and direct contact with nature, away from urban noise.
La Caleta is a key point for bird watching due to the variety of environments concentrated in a small area.
The mouth of the stream acts as a natural corridor and feeding area for numerous species.
Present environments

What birds can be observed?
In the area it is common to observe:
Water birds linked to the stream
Waders and shorebirds that take advantage of the downspouts
Coastal seabirds
Herons and opportunistic species
Raptors that patrol the coastline
The constant availability of food means that many birds use La Caleta as a resting and feeding area, especially during migrations.
At low tide, the place becomes particularly interesting for observation.
Value for sighting
La Caleta allows you to observe natural behaviors (feeding, movement, interaction between species) without major human interference.
It is ideal for those who enjoy quiet birdwatching, wildlife photography and patient observation.
