Cimarra Sur Tour

Skiing adventure in Patagonia with active volcanoes, hot springs, and powder in Chile and Argentina

Cimarra in Chile means to skip work.

La Cimarra Sur, takes you through the beautiful Patagonia of Argentina and Lake District of Chile. Perfect for advanced and expert skiers and riders hungry for backcountry adventure with a great mix of powder, southern Andean culture and food, hot springs and active volcanoes. 

We start with the best skiing in Patagonia based in San Martin de los Andes and Bariloche, followed by an unforgettable road trip across the Chile Argentina border set in a pre-historic landscape.  Afterwards, you'll  have a chance to climb Chile's most active volcano, an ski it's 5,000 vertical foot descent back to Villarrica-Pucon's base. 

"In the past 18 years, I have never been in powder like that. There is nothing better than good people and good riding, and that was what I got. The safety I felt from the guides was very comforting, you guys really know what you are doing. You really need to let people know how great the nightlife is too. The girls and nightlife are a blast!"
