Comodoro Rivadavia

Comodoro Rivadavia combines the working energy of an oil city with Patagonia’s open, wind-shaped character, reflecting its position on the Gulf of San Jorge in Chubut. Founded in 1901, it became a defining centre of Argentina’s petroleum industry after oil was discovered here in 1907. The city climbs from the Atlantic shore towards Cerro Chenque, while beaches and broad coastal horizons underline its setting between sea and steppe. The National Petroleum Museum in the General Mosconi district traces the industry that transformed the area.
