Customer Reviews
Nice spot in the canyon by Rio del Azul! Very good hike from start to finish from the upper area in el bolson! Took about 4 hours total and was about 18km :)
I would not recommend it: it is a walk of at least 5 hours (round trip; for people with good physical condition) with many slopes, a rocky path, full of toilet paper and garbage. A walk that requires good physical condition, especially if you want to return the same day. It was shocking to see people walking an extremely demanding trail wearing bathing suits, sandals, water shoes, carrying coolers, etc. Plus we ran into pilgrimages (crowds of people) in both directions to realize that the main attraction, “El Cajón del Azul”, is not worth all the effort. If your desire is to suffer without being rewarded, this walk is for you; My only recommendation is that if you choose to suffer, go prepared with trekking clothes and shoes and with an open mind to avoid getting frustrated.
In all seriousness, skip this hike. It is 18 miles round trip of no view (hiking to the refuge). When you get to the refuge, the views are mediocre at best. It is also steep uphill followed immediately by steep downhills so your efforts of climbing don’t even pay off. There are many beautiful hikes in Patagonia, this is not one of them. Do yourself the favor of skipping this hike. I’m sorry I wasted two days of my trip on it.
