El Bolsón, Río Negro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El Bolsón is situated in the far southwest of Río Negro Province in Argentina, at the foot of the Piltriquitron Mountain. Due to a series of valleys through the mountains of Chile to the Pacific Ocean, El Bolsón has an unusually temperate climate for its southern location. The area is known for production of jams, beer, cheese and chocolate and has a thriving arts market.
El Bolsón is the closest town to the famous Los Alerces National Park on the border with Chile, and is a starting point for several adventure sports like fly fishing, trekking, rafting, climbing, and skiing, and other outdoor activities in the surrounding lakes and mountains.
In the town there are some basic hospedajes (bed and breakfasts) run by, among others, descendants of German immigrants, and restaurants serving parilladas (mixed grill).
