Duration: full day
The road heads off south along National Route 258, which is completely paved. You ride along the lakeshores of the Gutiérrez, Mascardi and Guillelmo Lakes, going past places like La Veranada and Pampa del Toro. Then you go down to a hamlet next to Villegas river. Once you cross two rivers, Foyel and Quemquentreu, you will arrive at El Bolsón a town surrounded by mountains over 2000 m high, which give it a favorable climate for growing fine fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, and so on. A very interesting place to visit is the craftsmen marketplace, famous for its works in copper, wood and ceramics.
In winter, visitors can enjoy the Piltriquitrón Hill ski resort. In summer, it is an ideal place for trout fishing and many beautiful excursions.
You return to Bariloche by the same road.
