GETTING
HERE
To get here, you need to pass through Esquel or
Bariloche. If you come from Buenos Aires, take a bus or plane to
San Carlos de Bariloche. From the airport, take a taxi to the bus
terminal. From the Bariloche bus terminal there are many daily buses
to El Bolsón (two hours south). If you come from the south,
you have 2 1/2 hours from Esquel. El Bolsón is in the southwest
of the province Rio Negro at the 42° parallel, bordering the
province of Chubut.
Once you get to El Bolsón, it is easiest and quickest to
arrive at the farm by taxi (10 minutes and $1.50). You can use any
taxi company. They all know us as ¨Chacra El Cielo¨. Walking
takes between 45 minutes and an hour. We are at an altitude of 620
meters on the side of a tall, steep mountain and hiking up with
backpacks and luggage is challenging (although some folks do it).
Once you are relieved from the weight of your bags, hiking up and
down to town is an enjoyable walk.
