Patagonia 
Our
newest CASA itinerary, the 9 day Explore Patagonia Tour, takes our guests
into the heart of the Patagonian Andes. Our trip starts and finishes in
Bariloche, where guests are treated to thousands of acres of inbounds
and offpiste ski terrain and breathtaking lake vistas at Cerro Catedral.
Bariloche has a plethora of superb restaurants, nightspots and boutiques
making it a sophisticated, world-class adventure based community. We take
a day trip and travel along the shores of Lago Nahuel Haupi to Villa Angostura
and spend our day exploring the uncrowded slopes of Cerro Bayo, and its
easily accessed backcountry terrain. Next we road trip south along Ruta
40, where we stop at the 42nd parallel and the town of El Bolson to visit
its famous artisan market and enjoy a few micro brews and lunch at the
local cervecaria.
Following the famous narrow gauge steam train route writer Paul Theroux
coined the Old Patagonian Express, we arrive in Esquel, a gaucho and Welsh
influenced country town. Situated where the expansive Patagonian steppes
meet the Andes and near to the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid homesteaded,
Esquel is our gateway for 3 days of skiing and snowboarding at La Hoya.
A true Argentine gem, La Hoya offers us endless backcountry opportunities
and stunning views into Parque Nacional Alerce. We spend our evenings
sharing matte, wine, and mouth watering Argentine beef. We return to Bariloche
for one more big night out and a final day on the slopes at Cerro
Catedral. Que Bueno!!!
