Azul River, Mountain river near El Bolsón, Argentina
The Azul River extends for 40 kilometers through Patagonia, flowing from the Andes Mountains toward Lake Puelo in the Chubut province.
The river system has shaped transportation routes in Patagonia since the early settlement periods, connecting communities across the mountainous terrain.
Local inhabitants maintain traditional fishing practices along the river banks, passing down methods through generations in the Patagonian communities.
Visitors can reach the river by taking Azcuénaga street westward from El Bolsón, crossing the Usina district, and following marked paths.
At kilometer 4.5 along the river route, an observation point presents views of Cerro de Tres Picos and Lake Puelo in the distance.

Argentina extends across multiple climate zones and contains numerous geological formations. The country encompasses high mountain ranges in the Andes, salt flats in the northwest, rock formations in Patagonia, and extensive grasslands. These areas display the region's geological history and the adaptation of human settlements to different environments. The sites include volcanic craters, thermal springs, canyons, and historic villages. Many of these locations lie away from main routes and require several hours of travel. The regions document pre-Columbian cultures, colonial history, and traditional ways of life that continue today.
