This new type of tourism seeks balance and stimulates contact with nature through the simple contemplation of the landscape, or else, actively interacting with it. Rest, reflection, inner search and relax are only some of the experiences wanted.<\/span><\/p>\n

The area called \u201cComarca Andina del Paralelo 42\u201d (Andean region of parallel 42) is the place at the Patagonia where more of these opportunities have been developed, combining holistic centers with high mountain activities which make people feel well.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This itinerary starts at the locality of El Bols\u00f3n, Province of R\u00edo Negro, and proposes a circuit of 4 days experiencing the therapies that are offered in the area such as<\/span> exuberant nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

San Carlos de Bariloche is the closest airport. One hundred and twenty-five kilometers to the south, going along Route 40 you reach El Bols\u00f3n, a magic place where energy flows through people, fauna, rivers and waters, mountains and forests.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Holistic spaces, therapy centers, lodgings including spa and wellbeing professionals offer multiple proposals for those who seek to connect with their being. Meditation, holistic and Thai massages, tai chi chuan, reflexology, yoga, reiki, floral therapy, acupuncture, head Indian massage, tai na massage, gong baths, aura reading and \u201castro tarot\u201d are some of the therapies offered. There are also courses, seminars and workshops for those who seek to start or deepen their knowledge in the art of being well.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only 15 km away from El Bols\u00f3n, already in the province of Chubut, there is the locality of Lago Puelo. As its name implies, there is a beautiful water mirror \u2013 located within the homonymous National Park \u2013 where it is possible to go on gentle navigations or enjoy the mountainous surroundings on trails by the lake<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Very close to this locality, just 3.7 km from the picturesque town of El Hoyo, you find the largest labyrinth in South America. Nestled in an area of 5 hectares, surrounded by native forests and with fascinating views of the farms that are on the slopes of \u201cCerro Pirque\u201d or the hypnotic summit of \u201cCerro Plataforma\u201d, touring the Patagonia Labyrinth is an extraordinary experience to enjoy with family or friends. The labyrinth is a symbol of the spiritual world, a representation of the alternative paths and crossroads that are presented to us in life. Visiting it, walking through it, living in it is a stimulating proposal and an invitation to personal knowledge.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To the south, in the town of Epuy\u00e9n, we suggest a visit to the Buddhist Stupa. Stupas are spiritual monuments that represent the compassionate and wise minds of the masters and invite our own mind to awaken to its full potential. You can take photos, go around the Stupa, meditate and be charged with positive energy. Of course, gastronomy is not alien to this trend. In the area, the farms with production free of pesticides that work with seasonal products stand out. You can visit, tour the organic gardens, learn about the production of artisan products, and some of them also offer the possibility of enjoying lunch and snacks in an environment of peace and tranquility.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this sense, lovers of good living will also find a unique place in Lago Puelo: the place where the first authentically Argentine whiskey is distilled is \u201cLa Alazana\u201d, pioneers in the cultivation of exclusive barley varieties for whiskey. The double distillation process is carried out in copper stills of their own design and construction. The microclimate of the \u201cPiltriquitr\u00f3n\u201d hill valley ensures a long and smooth maturation, giving it the stamp of Patagonian Whiskey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Without doubt, this is a circuit that promises a total renewal of body and spirit. It offers an introspective journey, to lose yourself and find yourself, to return there again and again.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1401,"template":"","class_list":["post-3272","tesoros","type-tesoros","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","provincia-rio-negro","provincia-chubut"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/patagonia.gob.ar\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tesoros\/3272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/patagonia.gob.ar\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tesoros"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/patagonia.gob.ar\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tesoros"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/patagonia.gob.ar\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tesoros\/3272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8445,"href":"https:\/\/patagonia.gob.ar\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tesoros\/3272\/revisions\/8445"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/patagonia.gob.ar\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1401"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/patagonia.gob.ar\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
