El Bolson

El Bolson, Argentina


It was a nice, easy 2 hour bus ride down to El Bolson through the magnificent scenery of the Andes. We found a campsite and the tent was pitched, again.

El Bolson is a sleepy little town famous throughout Argentina for it´s hippy market the fact that it´s residents have declared it a nuclear free zone - respect. Piltriquitron, the surounding mountain range, is also believed to be one of the Earth´s energy centres.



El Bolson was a place for bumping into old friends...we saw Josh , our friend from Portland, Oregon, a Swedish guy we had met weeks ago in Santiago, and on the last day we saw Jesus, our spanish teacher, who had just finished hiking over the Andes and was none too pleased about the fact that he´d just had his new boots stolen.
We didn´t do a great deal in El Bolson...quite a bit of relaxing at the campsite and an afternoon wandering round the fantastic market kept us busy enough.
