Cajon Azul – El Bolson
After Bariloche, we were looking for something a bit more “tranquilo.” Our next stop was El Bolson, once a small pueblo, then hippie enclave and now a tourist mecca.
The highlight of our stay in El Bolson (aside from the delicious ice cream at Jauja), was our hike up Cajon del Azul.

We set out, planning to reach the end of the canyon, stop into a refugio for lunch and head back, a 7 hour hike.
We reached the river about 30 minutes into the hike and crossed two forks on cable suspension bridges with missing wood planks. It was a bit sketchy, but sturdy enough to not induce too much fear.

We spent the rest of the morning following the iridescent green waters of the river up the canyon and retraced our steps back to the beginning.

It was a delightful hike and we rewarded ourselves with another helping of ice cream.
