El Bolsón - 4 Day Hiking Itinerary
Sarah
Available for hire
El Bolsón is THE place for hiking lovers and has the largest network of mountain refuges in South America.
From day hikes to overnight and multi-day hikes, there is something for everyone.
My itinerary is a comprehensive collection of information on transportation, details on the hike, the sights, 3 huts to stay overnight and important information that you need to know before starting a hike. It includes an interactive map.
You can follow my itinerary exactly the same way or, if you don't feel like hiking for 4 days, you can shorten it to your likings.

OVERVIEW
My 4-day hike started at the Camping Hue Nain and ended in Wharton. During the hike I stayed at the huts Hielo Azul, Casa de Campo and La Playita.
LENGTH: about 40 km
DURATION: 4 days
DIFFICULTY: easy/moderate - difficult
Information on the huts
Translation: Refugio = refuge/hut
When I did the hike, it was not necessary to make a reservation for the huts beforehand.

Hi everyone 👋🏻
I'm Sarah from Germany and my biggest passion is everything related to travel. I not only LOVE to organize my own travels but also help others make travelling and especially planning easier. Below you can find some facts about me to get to know me a little better 😊
🌏 I'm backpacking solo around the world since 2017, exploring new places and cultures. I love to travel off the beaten path as I think this is the best way to experience local life and discover places away from mass tourism.
🗻 I've lived in New Zealand for 2,5 years, exploring this beautiful country in my van and I've also lived in Australia and Uruguay for one year each.
🥥 I always try to spend as much time as possible in one country to be able to explore it thoroughly. The first thing I usually do is wandering the streets to get a feel for the place, visiting local markets and also trying all the food.
🏞️🏝️ I love the outdoors, hiking, chasing waterfalls, driving around with the scooter, scuba diving and snorkeling.
