El Bolson, Patagonia

We discovered our tribe in El Bolson ! What an incredible place. The further down the famed Ruta 40 we drive the more outrageous the landscape and towns become. The beautiful Rio Azul sparkles as it encircles this great town full of craftspeople and Beer Makers. We followed small signs to an artisanal cerveceria, down a bumpy road and across a very rickety foot bridge. There was no beer but we discovered the Rio Azul with locals sitting on it's banks and apple trees heavy w fruit. What an awesome day.




















How far would we trek for a local artisanal beer? Turns out, pretty darn far.
We started the day out by hiking straight up the side of the mountain where our B&B is located. At the top of this very steep climb was a forest of sculpted trees and even higher up was a "Refugio" where locals sell their home brew and homemade empanadas and pizzas. Don't ask me how they get all the ingredients up there. The views were spectacular and the beer to die for.











I guess this horse is the one who brings everything up to the Refugio
