Trekking in paradise

If you came to visit El Bolson, you can’t leave without visiting: Piltriquitron Mountain, “Cajón del Azul”, “Hielo Azul”, Lindo Mountain and Plataforma Mountain.

Piltriquitron Mountain:

            It’s a short walk to the shelter of 3 or 4 hours that can be done by almost everybody. There are very informative sings along the way. In the shelter you can have something to eat or stay the night.

“Cajón del Azul”:

            A long but pleasant walk of 5 hours through a deep forest of “Cipreses”. It has a shelter were you can stay the night warm and dry. It is recommended to stay at least one night since is along walk.

“Hielo Azul”:

            Things get harder in this mountain. Is much more difficult than “Cajon del Azul” because it’s steeper. You reach a shelter with bathroom and a place where to sleep.

Lindo Mountain:

            A very steep path and a walk of at least 6 hours. Not recommended  for beginners. It has a shelter but without the same facilities, it doesn´t have electric light and bathroom neither.

Plataforma Mountain:

            A walk for experts of 12 hours because there’s no shelter so you have to sleep in tent, and since there’s no shelter, you have to carry your own food. On top of that, the paths are very steep and the weather is freezing.
