Cabo Polonio National Park is a protected area that preserves one of the most unique coastal landscapes in Uruguay. Its value lies in the diversity of ecosystems it hosts — shifting sand dunes, ocean beaches, rocky formations, islands, and native coastal forest — many of which are rare and of high conservation priority.
The dune system, one of the most extensive and dynamic in the region, along with its rich marine and terrestrial wildlife, makes this territory a key refuge for numerous species, including sea lions, migratory birds, and threatened fauna.
Visiting Cabo Polonio means entering a fragile natural environment. For this reason, it is essential to explore it responsibly: stay on designated paths, avoid disturbing wildlife and vegetation, do not leave waste behind, and minimize your impact. Caring for this place is part of the experience and helps ensure its natural value endures over time.
