Comodoro Rivadavia is the largest city of Chubut province in the Patagonia region in Southern Argentina. This lively – though rather unattractive – city is located at the Atlantic Coast in the south of the province, in a beautiful area of the San Jorge Gulf with many beaches surrounded by hills. It has about 200,000 inhabitants, a university and a rich cultural life.
