CITY DESCRIPTION:EL BOLSON
is a smaller city of 6,000 people about 615 air miles southwest of Buenos
Aires on the eastern slopes of the Andes Mountains. It is in Rio Negro
Province, the same one as Bariloche so that explains things a little. While
primarily an agricultural center, albeit a small one, its location, on
the Quemquerntreu River and at the foot of Piltiquitron Mountain, makes
it a great jumping off place (forgive the pun) or base of operations for
skiing, fishing (Trout and Salmon especially) and just seeing some great
scenery. It has a nice selection of hotels and cabins, restaurants, even
a discotheque for the leisure traveler.
