If you cannot fully enjoy the holiday season in the northern hemisphere because time is too short, we would like to present an option in South America. Bariloche, one of the major tourist attractions in Argentina, is a place to enjoy the snow and all the sports and recreational activities that you and your family deserve.
San Carlos de Bariloche, known as Bariloche, is the capital city of the state department of the same name, located in the Province of Rio Negro. The town is the most visited destination in Patagonia and one of the busiest in the southern country. Annually, it receives around one million tourists, especially during the winter season of the southern hemisphere ,between June and October. Most tourists come from South America and Europe.
Bariloche is the Argentine metropolis with the largest population in the Patagonian Andes, located in the Nahuel Huapi National Park, 832 kilometers from Viedma, capital of the province of Rio Negro, next to the Andes mountain range, south bank of Lake Nahuel Huapi. Skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skiing, heliskiing, sleigh rides and quads make it the main destination for high school graduates from neighboring nations, such as Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.
It is ideal for beginners in winter sports in the mountains, since it offers gentle slopes and spectacular forests that can be explored. Of course, experienced learners can defy gravity with steep slopes that reach up to two thousand 100 meters above sea level, from which they can slide down at full speed.
If you are not excited about skiing, you can hire snowshoes and move around the snow comfortably, exploring beautiful circuits of low technical and physical complexity.
If you feel like it, the Andean landscape is full of places to enjoy in four-wheel drive vehicles, with majestic vegetation and routes that will take you to unsuspected places where you can learn more about their history.
Another great way to explore paradisiacal winter places is by snowmobiles and ATVs. That fun and safe activity will allow you to explore the most beautiful places in the area.
Of course, the practice of winter sports or recreational travel requires specific clothing that allows you to enjoy the activity to the fullest without feeling the inclement weather. In the market, you can find many options and brands of different prices and raw material for the clothing as well. But don’t worry if you are not an experienced skier, you can hire clothes instead of buying them, because you will probably only wear them once.
This will defiantly be an unforgettable trip. The magnificent places will stay in your mind forever. Bariloche, a place to enjoy the snow and much more.
