Cajon del Azul

Reviewed By nicolafP8390XR

Amazing afternoon spent by Cajon del Azul. Caught the bus to Wharton from El Bolson at 8am. We hiked from Wharton which took 2 and a half hours (we are fast walkers). We decided to continue hiking to Refugio El Retamal to get a spot for the night. We then hiked back down to Refugio Cajon del Azul for lunch. After this we took the long way round to reach the swimming areas - exiting the refugio uphill, turning left along the trail and following the red dots along the edge of the Cajon until eventually reaching a stone beach/swimming area. Because we wanted to return via the main easier route we waded across with shoes and pack in the air. We sat for several hours enjoying the sun and cooling off in the very cold water. There are plenty of rocks to relax on and spots to get into the crystal clear water. There is the easy option to just return to the bridge from Refugio Cajon del Azul and find a spot to the left or right after crossing back over the bridge. Alternatively there is the more exciting but challenging longer hike to more secluded spots and views of the Cajon. Some of the most spectacular scenery in the world and it remains relatively quiet and untouched. Definitely try to go in good weather.
