Bienvenidos to Argentina, here we will take in the extensive culture and spectacular scenery, which this beautiful country has to offer! It’s off to the beautiful village of Bariloche, which is located along the shores of the Lake Nahuel Huapi.

Endless Turns will spend the first 5-days ripping up the Gran Catedral Ski Area in Bariloche (along with a day at the Cerro Bayo Resort), exploring this magical Patagonian city, and eating some of the best food that you will ever experience! After exploring the immense terrain that Catedral has to offer, we will then drive south to the village of Esquel, located in the southern Lakes District of Patagonia.

In Esquel, we will spend 3-days taking in all of the fine hospitality that the locals are eagerly willing to share, eating excellent Patagonia trout, wild game, and drinking a nice variety of local wines.  La Hoya is a family run ski resort, that has some of the best off-piste skiing in all of Argentina.  Talk about being in the middle of Patagonia, the lines we want to ride last days and even weeks after storms roll through here, making your legs beg for a break, but the adrenaline takes over and you keep them turning…. La Hoya is truly a special destination you will never forget.

On the last day of our trip you will have the option to explore the Alerces National Park or have another morning of skiing.  What are you waiting for, come join us on this wonderful adventure through the heart of the Patagonia Lakes District!
