About Naufragio Folías

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.

Local Intel For Naufragio Folías

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.
