El Bolsón


Founded by vegetarian hippies in the 70s, El Bolsón is a chill spot 2 hrs south of Bariloche.


We stayed La Casa de Viajeros, a lovely place to relax (I know, completely differently from what we have been doing). Owned by the Porro family, this get away comes with two dogs and a roost of chickens who are let out in the afternoons to roam the yard, pick at stuff, squawk and look at you funny. 60 pesos per person (about $15 US).

The main attractions of El Bolsón are:






Artesian beer, a rarity in Argentina (they´re more into the wine)







La Feria del Bolsón, a food and crafts market that is held on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday



And of course, hiking! See next post for our hike of Cajón del Azul.
