Pecio costero de Playa Paraná con acceso guiado.
Recommended for tide planning, site orientation and any interior inspection.
Naufragio Folías es un pecio costero de Playa Paraná, en Puerto Madryn, que se presta a recorridos guiados por su casco y sus restos visibles cerca de la costa. El perfil cambia con la marea y conviene planificarlo como una salida corta, conservadora y muy dependiente del estado del mar. La vida sobre la estructura y el entorno del Golfo Nuevo le dan interés más allá del propio naufragio.

Safety Notes
Treat interior exploration as guide-led only and stay conservative when swell, tide or visibility worsen. The shallow profile can still turn demanding quickly if conditions shift.
Access Restrictions
Use tide-aware planning and local guidance; do not force unsupported interior access or artifact handling.
Legal Notes
Conservation-minded heritage context applies; do not remove material or disturb the wreck.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Primary use case is a short wreck circuit along the hull and exposed structure. Keep the loop conservative and choose calm windows for any closer inspection.
Freediving
Works as a conservative apnea target on calm days, especially for viewing the wreck profile from the outside. Avoid pushing into the structure if surge or visibility worsens.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is a real use case here when the sea is flat and the tide is favorable; the attraction is the wreck silhouette, shallow structure and marine growth.
