Argentina The Cajon del Azul gorge, El Bolson

The blue, crystal-clear waters of the Rio Azul flow through the Cajon del Azul gorge. Beautiful rock formations surround the mountain river.

It is difficult to take pictures without people as people are swimming in the river and cliff jumping. You have to be a bit patient here and it's best to come in the morning.

I visited this place on a multi-day trekking tour near El Bolson. The landscapes are beautiful and there are great hiking trails. You can spend the night in the refuges.
Day 1 Refugio Hielo Azul, day 2 Refugio Natacion, day 3 Refugio Cajon del Azul, day 4 Refugio Tronconado. Especially in the area around Cayon Azul you will have many opportunities to stay overnight in refugios or to camp. There are buses to the starting points of the hikes and you can get detailed information at the tourist information office in El Bolson.
