Es un sendero por el bosque al pie del cerro Currumahuida. El camino es fácil, en cierto punto se divide en dos: uno corto que regresa al punto de origen y otro más largo, con algunas subidas y bajadas, un pequeño sector entre piedras, alguna pasarela de madera mientras se recorre el bosque y se observan diferentes especies de árboles.<br />

To reach to the <strong>Botanical Garden</strong> we had taken the street leading from the route to <b><i>"La Playita" </i></b>near the place where it is the entrance of the <a href="http://patagonia-myworld.blogspot.com/2010/11/forest-of-shadows-magical-place.html"><b>Forest of the Shadows path</b></a>. We went through the portal near it and walk a few meters with the forest to one side and the maintenance dependences of the National Park on the other side.<br />

The clear waters of this river are coming down from the mountains and finishes draining in the Puelo lake as a delta. There are two bridges that cross the Azul river, one of them is no more than 2 kilometers from the town center by Route Nº 16 to El Bolson. The way to reach it is well signposted on the road; a sign indicates where to turn, then cross the bridge over the <b>Golondrinas stream</b>, cross a section of the area called <b>La Isla (<i>The Island</i>)</b> where there are a lot of new houses and following the signs you can reached the river.<br />

The <b>Azul river</b> shows a series of pools that makes that this place becomes a popular beach on hot sumer days. The footbridge is only for 8 pedestrian at a time. While crossing the river we can see its clear waters, the stones of the riverbed, and the surrounding hills as the <b>Currumahuida</b>, <b>Motoco</b>, <b>Piltriquitrón </b>and <b>Tres Picos.</b><br />

Crossing the river we arrived to a beautiful and quiet place, very green, ideal for picnicking; the camping is called "Motoco Cárdenas" and managed by a Mapuche community. Several trails start from here for lovers of trekking, of varying length and difficulty as those to <b>Motoco Refuge,</b> the <b>Laguna Huemul,</b> <b>Los Hito</b>s and to a nearby waterfall.<br />

The footpath to this beautiful waterfall is easily visible, crossing the sectors where this community work we reached a forest and crossed a stream. Crossing it is possible to approach the waterfall, of several meters height and immersed into the green vegetation.<br />

It's a nice trail that has no major difficulties, we did it walking from the center but you can go by car to the footbridge, or by bus to the turnoff on the road and then walk.<br />

This path was surrounded by vegetation among we could see rosehip, brooms and murras. But not everything is beautiful in this path, unfortunately we went through an area where we found the reamins of a forest fire. It was small but it´s sadness to see the burned trees.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
He was very kind to put my name on the photos and the link to my blog; also he wrote a little review. But that of mine as a photographer was so much!!!... I love photography, but I have to learn a lot and I haven´t still a good camera fot that).<br />
<br />
Now I invite you to see the post and the web in general, where you can find a lot of interesting information (not only of tourism) about both Argentine and Chilean Patagonia...<br />
<br />
Enjoy it!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The months pass, at first very slowly, but less than two months of our move, the time seems speeded up. There is so much to prepare, organize, fix, buy ... The main concerns were the house and moving and both of them are resolved. <br />
<br />
We rent the house to a member of the place where my husband works, and who lived her whole life he lived in Lago Puelo. We called her a real NIC (born and raised), and who lives a few feet of what will be our home. We will live in an area called The Island, between the stream called Golondrinas (Swallows) and the Azul river (Blue river), a few blocks from downtown (if you can call them blocks ...). There is a small forest and greenery around.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The other major issue was the moving, we decided to recruit a company of Bariloche after having seen several companies and asking for prices. Fortunately the people of the company packed the furniture; I shall have to pack dishes, clothes and books, the small things but the worst!!. Luckily our apartment in Buenos Aires is small, but in these 7 years of marriage we have accumulated a lot of stuff (and crap too!) </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Between what needs to be prepared are the curtains. I bought the fabric and I shall make them myself to cut costs. I was told that in Lago Puelo it costs a lot more expensive, because they come to town to buy the fabric ... </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Next month, December, and I shall begin to pack our winter clothes to go forward a little work. The rest will be prepared together with my husband who returns home to spend the Christmas and New Year in family. Today I realized that I still have a month and a half to leave the job that I have for 16 years!. On January 8, the truck will be loading "our home" and if all goes well, on January 11 will be receiving it in Lago Puelo and we will begin to decorate our new home...</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />

We enter by this portal, we can see to the right the dependences of the National Park Administration offices, and to the right a lot of trees like crab apples, plums and "murras". We arrive to a place with two another gates of trunks: one is the beginning of the path called "<strong><em>Antiguos Pobladores</em></strong>" (<strong>Old Settlers</strong>) and the trail to the <strong>Botanical Gardens</strong>; the other one is the entrance to the <strong><em>Pitranto Grande</em></strong> (<strong>Big Pitranto</strong>).</span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; vertical-align: top;"><br />

It is simply a forest of <em>pitras</em>, a strange tree known by different names: the Mapuches called it <em>petra</em>, but it is also known as <em>patagua</em>, <em>temu</em>, <em>picha</em>... Belongs to the Myrtaceae family and is relative to the myrtle. The scientific name is MYRCEUGENIA EXSUCCA (<em>Myrceugenia</em> is a combination of myrcia gender and eugenia, <em>exsucca</em> without juice).

<span class="longtext"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">We enter into this strange and dark forest by a path that seems to have a padded, soft and swampy floor, composed of leaves and roots; some sectors are completely flooded. With its shade, the pitras protect the quality of the water in which they grow.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; vertical-align: top;"><span class="longtext"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The pitras are trees that grow between 10 to 15 meters high, their trunks are 50/60 centimeters in diameter and they can live up to 150 to 200 years. Their very twisted branches that form strange shapes and their flaky bark are really striking and give the place a fantastic and magical look. It seems to be into a forest of a Tolkien´s tale. This forest of pitras and myrtles is very dark, even more than the "<strong><em>Bosque de las Sombras</em></strong>" along which we traveled in a previous post.

One of the most beautiful and magical circuits of the "<strong>Lago Puelo National Park</strong>" is that called <strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e69138;">"</span><span style="color: #e69138;"><em>Bosque de las Sombras</em>" (Forest of the Shadows).</span></span></strong> <br />

The trail goes into the green and deep forest... It is a path with no slope of 600 meters, of easy difficulty and its duration is about 30 minutes. We can go into the forest by a footbridge made of coihue´s wood and built on the marshy and flooded ground. Here the water is transparent but it seems dark. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cDl2ECCvrfk/TNMwaReej4I/AAAAAAAAC5A/xInM2nEeJdc/s1600/bosque+sombras1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" px="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_cDl2ECCvrfk/TNMwaReej4I/AAAAAAAAC5A/xInM2nEeJdc/s640/bosque+sombras1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The "Forest of Shadows" is a very green place, where you can see several types of ferns and trees as pitras or pataguas, myrtles, avelinos, all of them with very twisted branches that give us the feeling of walking into a dim light...<br />
<br />

The presence of fairies seems to float in the air, and that we are walking into a storybook of elves. <br />
<br />
A fascinating and magical place...<br />

Near the village, about 3 kilometers, is the gateway to the <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"><strong>"LAGO PUELO NATIONAL PARK"</strong></span>, created in 1937 as an annex of the "Los Alerces National Park" and in 1971 it was declared independent National Park and Reserve; it includes also a Strict Nature Reserve. It can be reached by paved route Nº 16, either in your own car or by bus from El Bolsón.<br />

The name Piltriquitrón in the "mapuche" tongue means "hanging from the clouds". It´s a very beautiful mountain of 2260 meters and some people say that it has a special energy... In the year of 1982 there was a large fire in the beech forest that covers the hill and later a group of artists organized <strong>"The Carved Forest</strong>", an exhibition of wood carving at 1500 meters of altitude.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: #999999;"><em>Here is my story:</em></span></span><br />
<br />
<div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I live in Buenos Aires, the most popular city of <strong>Argentina</strong>. But I love <strong>Patagonia</strong> since I know it...</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I was twelve years old, my parents took me to Bariloche during the summer holidays. It was love at first sight! The lake so blue, the clear sky, the silhouettes of the mountains... We returned in winter: the cold and white snow, the landscapes as B&W photos... I remember thinking to myself how nice it would be one day to live in a place like that.</div><br />
<div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgltDQQkFqAwnJ3HN38bDI-f-FEu5VjFuvrOOMcc-2uiXRxsBBUB6kP_VwE-9PIVeBuhkiFICNyePD4EN6pe6buHZHMQJPSGZyWrA1o9J5dCYJY6SWWJrjegQzC0I1YwdfEbiOfbUvbDysB/s1600/patagonia11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgltDQQkFqAwnJ3HN38bDI-f-FEu5VjFuvrOOMcc-2uiXRxsBBUB6kP_VwE-9PIVeBuhkiFICNyePD4EN6pe6buHZHMQJPSGZyWrA1o9J5dCYJY6SWWJrjegQzC0I1YwdfEbiOfbUvbDysB/s640/patagonia11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I returned to <strong>Patagonia</strong> several times:</div><ul><li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Puerto Madryn</em></strong> with the <strong><em>Valdez Peninsula</em></strong> and its orcas, sea lions, sea elephants, penguins in summer and the southern right whales in winter; </div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Calafate</em></strong> with the famous and pristine <strong><em>Perito Moreno Glacier</em></strong>,</div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Comodoro Rivadavia</em></strong> with its blue sea, the Petroleum Museum, and the Chenque Hill</div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Río Gallegos</em></strong>, Punta Loyola, with the flag trees and the cormorants.</div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Esquel</em></strong> and its ski resort "<strong><em>La Hoya</em></strong>" (The hole), where I skied for the first time in my life.</div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>San Martín de los Andes</em></strong> and the wonderful ski resort called <strong><em>Chapelco</em></strong>, between the forest of "lengas" (beech).</div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Villa La Angostura</em></strong>, a beautiful place between lakes, forests, mountains</div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Copahue</em></strong>, close to the volcano of the same name and with its extraordinary thermal water, mud, vapors and algaes.</div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Caviahue</em></strong>, at the feet of the <strong><em>Copahue</em></strong> volcano, with a lake and the monkey-puzzle (araucarias or pehuenes) forests.</div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Villa Pehuenia</em></strong>, a little village by the lake Aluminé and near an old volcano called <em><strong>Batea Mahuida</strong></em>.</div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Bariloche</em></strong> with the mount <strong><em>Catedral</em></strong>, <strong><em>Nahuel Huapi</em></strong> lake, <em><strong>Challuaco</strong></em> valley, <em><strong>Campanario</strong></em> Hill, mount <em><strong>Tronador</strong></em>, and the chocolates!!!</div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Ushuaia</em></strong>, at the end of the world, on the <strong><em>Beagle Channel</em></strong>, the <strong><em>Tierra del Fuego National Park</em></strong>, <strong><em>Fagnano</em></strong> lake and the subantartic forests.</div></li>
</ul><br />

<div></div><div>Tired of the life and the insecurity of the city, my husband and I decided to live in another place, preferably to our beloved south... He found a job in a very little village called <em><strong>Lago Puelo</strong></em>, surrounded by hills and near the <strong><em>Puelo</em></strong> lake, at the border Argentina-Chile. A place where Mother Nature is mistress of all, a little village where people live and work in peace...</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now we are in the process of change, happy and hopeful to have found <strong><em><span style="font-size: large;">our place in the world in PATAGONIA.</span></em></strong></div><br />
