Argentina is a wonderful country to spend time. In today’s Argentina political and economic instability have been eliminated creating an atmosphere much akin to what you would find in European cities and places like New York & LA. The food and culture are enjoyed immensely by everyone that makes the trip. From fresh pastas and pizzas to their world reknown organic beef and wine, Argentina has something to please everyone.
Buenos Aires is a cosmopolitan city; nonetheless there are areas to go and places to avoid. Obviously our time is spent largely in the mountains and not in the cities. South America Snow Sessions contracts private transportation and in-house guides to greet you when you land at the airport and take you on a city tour of Buenos Aires (time permitting).
Since Argentina is in the Southern Hemisphere, it is winter at SASS during the North American summer. Just think … while your friends are sweating it out, you will be skiing & riding powder!
At South America Snow Sessions we pride ourselves in offering all of our clients long days on the mountain. The resort we ski & ride at is open from 9am until 5pm!! Of course everyone needs to take a break once in a while so for down days there are tons of activities like shopping in San Carlos De Bariloche, Canopy Ziplines, Nature Walks, Boat Trips on the lake… The list is endless. For those 18 years of age and older, Bariloche provides a long list of places to unwind, get a drink and dance to some of the best DJ’s in the world.
