Itinerary description
Great hike to see best parts of El bolson. Photos attached.
I recommend this route for half-day hike. It allows you to see Mirador Del Azul (very nice viewpoint with a view for a nice river valley), then Indian Head (a big rock in a form of a head) (price 70 peso for entrance), and after that Cascada Escondida (big and nice waterfall - more than 25M height) also entrance fee 70 pesos.
You can enjoy the view of El Bolson from the viewpoint and see old church and cemetery and continue to go to El Bolson following the river. Be careful on the way back from the Cascada Escondida. There is a narrow road (looks like an animal path with low ceilings from the bush) and very slippery road on the way down from the top of the rock towards the cemetery. But it is walcable.

Itinéraire facile à suivre malgré les multiples bifurcations présentes sur le terrain. Je tiens à préciser que le sentier qui part de la cascade jusqu'au cimetière est officiellement fermé. Ce sentier n'est plus entretenu et de nombreux troncs d'arbres se trouvent sur le chemin, ce qui ne m'a nullement empêché de la parcourir sans problème. Je recommande.

Muy lindo camino, increíbles vistas, súper agradecido que lo hayas subido.
Al final el camino se pone más estrecho pero sigue siendo claro por donde hay que ir.
