El Bolsón is a great place to just sit back, drink some mate (a caffeinated drink made from yerba mate leaves), and take in your surroundings like the locals do. Other than the common mate circle, El Bolsón offers a range of activities: from music festivals to hut-linked trekking adventures, not to mention river rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, backcountry skiing, or Mapuche Indian tribe museums. There are different cultural museums sprinkled through town as well as a few local beer breweries that serve up a good rendition of European ales.
