El Bolson

Left Valdes Peninsula and took an overnight bus to El Bolson, a seductive little place with a laid-back atmosphere at the foot of the Andes. This lovely earthy statue is the first thing we saw in the early morning light, carved from local, cinnamon-coloured wood. El Bolson is famous for its home-brewed beers, fresh fruit and homemade icecream - it's where thousands of hippies created an ideological community in the 1970's and it's claimed that the surrounding mountains emit healthy positive ions which is why you feel so relaxed here (yeah, right...well we fell for it!)
