El Bolson Bed and Breakfasts Reviews and Rates

A Casual Start To 2012

Today we had the full intention of getting up at 6AM and starting the new year with an early morning hike in the mountains surrounding El Bolsen. But after a lovely New Years Eve BBQ put on by our hostel the alarm went off at 6AM and Michelle, with no complaints from Brendan, proceeded to hit the snooze button every 5 minutes for the next hour and …

Finally hiking time

News aus Argentinien:
Nach unserer kalten Woche in Chile, verbrachten wir 2 Nächte in Bariloche im gleichen Hotel wie wir schon einmal waren; liessen es uns gut gehen mit viel Platz in der Loft und eigenem Jacuzi. Diesmal hatten wir mehr Glück mit dem Wetter, bzw. mit der ceniza. Der Wind bliess in eine andere Richtung und so konnten wir doch …

El Bolson... soooo chilled

This is the 2nd time that I wrote this text as it seems to not have saved the last time, might be a little shorter therefore.

After two consecutive overnight bus journeys and a day in Comodoro Rividavia (on a Sunday meaning everything was closed) I arrived in El Bolson, a hippie town surrounded by snow capped moutains, around 9:30. After …

C'est parti pour le Bolson

Le matin, Julie et moi avons fait nos sacs, et nous avons décollé en début d'aprem, après avoir dit au revoir à cette famille super sympa avec laquelle nous avions passé tant de temps.

Avant de continuer notre route vers le Sud, il fallait acheter du matosse. On devait régler le problème de ma tente : réparer ou alors acheter une nouvelle …

Day trip to hippy ville!

Hey there again!

Just a quick one as there is not much to write about El Bolson. Nice enough town. Its a couple of hours south of Bariloche and has a nice mnarket on Saturday which is why we went.

They sell the usual hippy crafts plus home brewed beer (which was disgusting and actually poured it out as soon as we were out of sight …

Chilled out hostel, great scenary

El Bolson was all about chiling out. We stayed in our favourite hostel so far. Open fire, homemade beer and a cool owner. It was under the mountains out of town and had some cool dogs for me to play sticky with!

Went on a walk up the local mountain. At the top there is a forest where local hippees have done a number of carvings - was a …

Beer, crafts, and 12 peso whiskey

El Bolson is great. It´s making me regret booking our ticket to Buenos Aires for tomorrow. The town here is just so relaxed and chilled out. Last night Rob, Mark the Australian, and I made a delicoius pasta and downed a bottle of whisky then headed out on the town to the "Irish Pub" to sample some local brews. Everything we tried was excellent. …

Ruta cuarenta

During my day of relaxation in El Chalten I read the guide book and decided my next stop would be El Bolson, a small hippy town with a great market on the weekends. There are 2 ways to get to El Bolson from El Chalten. One involved backtracking to El Calafate, switching to a bus to Rio Gallegas, and then switching to another bus to El Bolson. The …

Another completely exhausting but beautiful trek

El Bolson is about 2hrs bus journey south of Bariloche so we´re slowly making our way down Argentina. We´ve decided to stay on this side of the Andes until mid-December when Argentinians start their holiday season and the national parks fill up with families and parties. Then we´ll hop over to Chile where hopefully it´ll be quieter / fewer people. …

El Bolson

Hola from El Bolson, a small town in a valley in the Andes. It is also in a microclimate and in a supposed energy centre, so is a very different atmosphere to the image-conscious ski centre of Bariloche. We arrived on Monday, by bus, a mere two-hour journey. We went straight to our hostel, which is a small family run place and is the nicest place …
