Destination hub
Bariloche and Patagonia
Argentine Patagonia is where our snow story began, in 1994, and it remains the most accessible destination for a first trip out of Brazil: a short flight, the same time zone and a cost well below the northern hemisphere.
The season runs roughly from June to September, with the best snow volume in July and August. The snow tends to be wetter than in Colorado, which makes a genuinely waterproof outer layer more important.
