El Bolson

Nestled in the embrace of the Andes lies this picturesque town in the southwest of the Río Negro province, beckoning with its unique blend of warmth, natural beauty, and artisanal wonders.

About

Cradled in a fertile valley along the Quemquemtreu river, and embraced by the imposing Mount Piltriquitron, El Bolsón boasts a distinct charm and hospitable locals, inviting you to indulge in delightful traditional products. Embark on a scenic journey from Bariloche, tracing the shores of lakes Gutiérrez, Mascardi, and Guillelmo. Along the way, encounter the quaint town of El Foyel, offering roadside kiosks, cabins, and inns for a tranquil stay. The Guaitecas community showcases Mapuche-descendant crafts, adding a touch of local artistry to your journey. El Bolsón's craft fair at Pagano square is a magnet for artisans, where skilled hands craft metal, pottery, woodwork, knitted products, stained glass, knives, and more. The town is a gateway to two captivating tours—one leading to the Lago Puelo National Park and the other to El Maitén for a ride on La Trochita, an ancient steam train. Embraced by ancient glaciers and mountains, El Bolsón is also a haven for those seeking connection with nature.
