El Bolson, Argentina

From El Chalten to El Bolson we had a mammouth 2 day journey along Route 40. Each day we had 12 hours in the bus which was dusty and hot - a total nightmare. The overnight stop in a one street town called Perito Moreno was certainly interesting. We stayed in the "Hotel Belgrano" (not an encouraging name for us brits) which was one of only two hotels in town and it reminded us of the soviet style "Hotel Moscow" we had stayed in St. Petersburg - sterile and basic to say the least!
Arrival in El Bolson (the hippie capital of Argentina apparently) was a relief. Our hostel was lovely, alongside a river and we managed to get a small cabin in amongst the garden.
We only spent a couple of days in El Bolson, where we visited the artists market and had the best ice cream ever!
