"Las Tintoreras", a group of small islets full of inlets and hidden beaches. The islet of Tintoreras is located south of Puerto Villamil. It has a bay where it is possible to observe sea lions, sea turtles, sea iguanas, stingrays, etc. This bay is connected to a superficial crack of crystalline waters that closes when the tide is low. In this crack it is possible to see whitetip sharks swim with the rest of tropical fish and sea lions.
