El Bolsón (Argentina)

Looking for wonderful natural landscapes with lakes, mountains and pure, fresh air? Then El Bolsón is the place to visit when you come to Argentine Patagonia! El Bolsón lies in the bottom of a glacial valley very close to the city of San Carlos de Bariloche. In the 1970s, a large community of hippies made the town their home. This explains the amount of arts and craft products (craft beers, leather goods, etc.) and local produce (cheese, various kinds of berries, etc.) to be found at the area's regional fairs.

It goes without saying that open-air activities out in the natural countryside are the name of the day here. You'll be able to visit and explore the beautiful and romantic Lake Puelo for example: a wonderful place to go sailing. And for a memorable, healthy and energetic challenge, there's always the climb up the 2,250-metre high Cerro Piltriquitrón mountain to tackle!
