Punta Condor Resort, Bariloche

Patagonia Highlights

Terrain is probably better than 3 star but you have to be able to see it. It just kept snowing so no complaints. Owans Guiding was pricless in these conditions. The powder weeks a great option to find the secret stashes. The accomodation was great with friendly and helpful bylingual staff.

A great view across to the mountain when it could be seen. On the mountain is to be found the best steak sandwich,(Lomito) on earth, Ask Owan for directions. Occasionaly the clouds parted to reveal amazing views accross Patagonias'' lakes district. Downtown in Bariloche More great Steaks and Shopping. Leather goods shops everywhere, a byproduct of the great steaks. With local prices the same in peasos as we pay in dollars it was easy to forget we were geting about 3 to 1 for our AUD. It was easy to live it up cheeply.

We also added Igasu Falls, the Glacier and Ushuaia, (most southerly town in the world) to our trip. There is even a Ski Hill, Cero Casto at  Ushuaia. Done Together it makes a Great Ski trip with the Highlights of Argentina thrown in.

A Tango Show  in Buenos Aries toped off a great trip.

Skiing in Bariloche

Thank you to Leah Scott for a great ski-ing holiday. Travelplan have a consultant on the ground who meets and greets you. We stayed at Punta Conda which was in a great location with about a 5 minute walk to the Gondola.  The ski hire place stored your boots and skis without having to walk back to the lodge at night - a great bonus.  All facilities were available at the Lodge.  Fantastic ski-ing with massive wide open places to ski.  What a view from the top.  Would rival anywhere in the world and we have skied in every continent. Thanks again Leah.
