Northern PATAGONIA is PARADISE! 😍✨ Horseback Trekking & Boat Tour in Lago Puelo and El Bolson 🌄🛥️🇦🇷

Подробнее о видео

Northern Patagonia truly is a slice of paradise! Emerald rivers, misty forests, snow-capped mountains - this place is a feast for the eyes. We spent a few days enjoying some of the top attractions in Lago Puelo and neighbouring El Bolson, and that means lots of time in nature! In this video, we'll take you on an epic horse trek to Cajón del Azul. This is a trek that begins in the outskirts of El Bolsón and it involves crossing multiple rivers and riding up into the mountains. We saw rivers in shades of turquoise and emerald that were incredible! We were there in the rainy season, but you can imagine what this place is like in the summertime.

Then, in Lago Puelo we went on a boat tour to explore the national park. We hiked to the border with Chile, drank water that flows down from a glacier, saw the rapids, and just had a wonderful time. Another highlight in Lago Puelo was the hanging bridge (Pasarela Río Azul) which leads to waterfalls tucked away in the forest.

We hope you enjoy this taste of travel in Northern Patagonia and get some ideas for your own trip!

🏔️ Horseback Trekking El Bolsón, Lago Puelo & Patagonia Food Tour: Waterfalls, Pizza & Pure Adventure!

🌄 Adventure Begins: Horseback Trekking in El Bolsón, Patagonia

Welcome to another adventure through the heart of Patagonia! We kicked off our journey in beautiful El Bolsón, a place we keep coming back to, but this time we finally decided to tackle one of the most famous experiences—horseback riding all the way to Cajón del Azul. It was autumn, the forests were draped in mist, and we seized the only rain-free day on our trip for this unforgettable ride.

The trek was a true test of both excitement and endurance as we went up and down rugged hills, crossed rivers, and made our way through enchanted woodlands. Nature showed off her dramatic side with canyons, glacial rivers, and even fog-veiled peaks in the distance. After hours in the saddle, we reached the legendary Cajón del Azul, also known as the Blue Canyon.

🥟 A Patagonia Picnic—With Company

We didn’t let the adventure end with the ride. Once we dismounted, it was time for a well-deserved picnic. Digging into leftover cheesy empanadas and trail mix, we quickly attracted a family of kittens. What started as lunch for two soon turned into a feast for five furry little guests. Sharing our meal with these playful kittens was both spontaneous and heartwarming—one of those little moments that makes travel so rewarding.

🛥️ Lago Puelo: Boat Rides, Pure Water, and Hidden Treasures

From El Bolsón, we set our sights on Lago Puelo, one of Patagonia’s lesser-known gems that feels like three places in one: a town, a national park, and a turquoise lake surrounded by mountains. We signed up for a boat excursion that would take us all the way to the border with Chile, opting for a nimble small boat that allowed us to weave closer to shore and really soak in the scenery.

On board, our guide introduced us to a local tradition—drinking pure glacial water that’s spent thousands of years frozen before tumbling down the mountainside. Sipping that ice-cold, mineral-rich water straight from the source was an energizing experience, a literal taste of Patagonia’s wild spirit.

🍕 Patagonia’s Food Scene: Pizza, Chocolate, and Sushi

Patagonia isn’t just about wild landscapes—there’s a vibrant food scene, too. After a long day of adventures, we found what just might be the best pizza in Patagonia. Imagine a pizza loaded with cheddar, mozzarella, bacon, and chives—each bite was pure comfort food after a day in the wild. The flavors were bold and unforgettable, a new must-try for any foodie passing through.

For dessert, we visited a local chocolate shop famous for its artisanal creations. The assortment was impressive: boxes filled with chocolates bursting with flavors like forest berries, rum, Bailey’s, mint, and more. We couldn’t resist trying as many as possible, and every bite was a new discovery. Patagonian chocolate is something special—rich, fruity, and impossible to resist.

🌉 Waterfalls, Bridges, and Spontaneous Trails

No Patagonia adventure is complete without a hike, and ours took us over a rickety old suspension bridge above the Rio Azul—true to its name, the water is a vivid blue. On the other side, we followed the sounds of rushing water to reach the Cascada de Cárdenas, a stunning waterfall tucked away in the forest. The trails weren’t always well-marked, but following our instincts and the natural soundtrack of the landscape led us to unforgettable views.
