El Bolson Vacation

For the past week, my family has been staying in El Bolson, a tourist town in the Andes that is about eight hours away from Trelew. On the first day we drove to a hostel between Trelew and El Bolson. The next day we arrived in El Bolson and took a short hike that most of the time taken up was driving up a treachorously steep, dirt road, and the other part going up a 90 degree angled trail that was only 1000 meters, but felt so long because it was so steep. We stayed the night in a hostel and went horseback riding and then drove to Lago Puelo, a lake nearby. On Saterday we went to the famed market where you can only have a stand if you make it yourself. For friends and family, we have presents! On Saterday afternoon we had a fun time rafting the Rio Azul, and jumping in the water with the rest of our group. On Sunday we took a hike in the mountains and on Monday we had a very long ride home. I took over 200 photos, but you guys can only see a few of them :(

I told you the first hike was steep!

Riding horses-I finally conquered my fear of them!
