The good things and bad things in El Bolson:

El Bolson is a touristic centre, thousands of people choose it as their destination for vacationing because of it a natural and fascinating landscape, or just because they’re looking for a peaceful place to rest.

El Bolson’s main income comes from the activities that visitors do, such as paraglidingat at the piltriquitron hill jumping from about 1200 amsl into the valley to meet the unique feeling of flying a see the beauty of the nature from avove, rafting at the Manso River which crosses the Andes by the passage of Leon an the Azul River with the right balance between emotion and safety, trekking over the big variety of muntains and hills located around the city, sailing on the Puelo Lake or Epuyen Lake with many types of diferents ships, buy souvenirs in the local fair located on the city centre on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and sometimes on Sundays.

El Bolson is the perfect place for the kind of tourist that is looking for adventurous activities!

On the other hand, some of these excursions are not always accessible to everyone due to the fact that the roads are not transitable without a 4x4 pick-up or a good vehicle.

This makes many people avoid visiting these places, which is really a pity, because they lose the opportunity of visiting a wonderful place. A clear example is the “Bosque Tallado”, a forest that was affected by fire some decades ago, and from its remains some marvelous sculptures were made!

The access to the forest is by car, but the road is too deteriorated for some cars to drive along, many people don’t know the forest because of this.

To sum up, I must say that El Bolson is a great choice if you’re looking for a natural an enjoyable place, but it’s important to remark that some improvements in the roads are needed, despite these details, the excursions are outstanding, I strongly recommend you to visit El Bolson!
