Mundo Marino in San Clemente del Tuyú is the largest ocean park in South America and a pioneer in marine fauna conservation. Since its founding in 1979, the park has been dedicated to education and protection, combining shows with dolphins, sea lions, and orcas with powerful messages about the importance of the oceans. One of the park's main goals is the rescue and rehabilitation of marine animals stranded on the Argentine coast, through its Mundo Marino Foundation. Visitors can explore the different habitats representing the polar regions, tropical seas, and the local coast. A 360-degree cinema and various interactive exhibits complete the experience, making Mundo Marino a center for marine education and family fun.
