Everyone that we met told us how beautiful and wonderful El Bolson was. Lonely planet even went so far as to say that it had some of the most beautiful hikes in the world! Where they were, we don’t know. We did a couple of the more common/famous hikes, but their beauty could not even come close to rivalling home or even Bariloche. So, perhaps we didn’t “find” the most beautiful place on earth. Let us know if you find it. El Bosque Tallado (the carved forest) shown above was nice but not worth a long bus journey.
El Bolson was also supposed to be filled with organic food, hippies, etc. etc. The only place where we found these things were in our hostel El Pueblito (20 minute bus ride outside of the “city”), a little slice of organic, co-operative paradise. However, the city had less organic food that Superstore in Canada and we spent more money per day here than anywhere else, even Buenos Aires. Other than our hostel, we didn’t like El Bolson.
