ARGENTINA: Las Grutas – Beautiful Río Negro Coastline on the San Matías Gulf

Las Grutas is a city located on the Atlantic coast of the Río Negro province in Argentina. It is bathed by the warm, blue waters of the San Matías Gulf. The city gets its name from the incessant carving of the waves on the cliffs, which are up to eight meters high. When the tide rises, the constant pounding of the waves creates marine erosion that gives rise to caves below the cliffs, which are bordered by extensive golden beaches and an absolutely calm ocean. The intense blue sea has one of the warmest temperatures of the entire Argentinean maritime coast.

Nuwara Eliya is located roughly in the middle of Sri Lanka and also in the middle of the hilly tea plantations. Everything looks completely different again, not just the nature but also the architecture.
