Skiing and Snowboarding

Chile's ski season starts around June/July and generally lasts until September/October, which is very favourable for people who live in the southern hemisphere. Chile provides some world class skiing opportunities as illustrated by the fact that the Austrian as well as American national ski teams regularly use our slopes for their summer training. Some of the ski areas excitingly starts near Santiago and works their way down the Andes mountains to the bottom tip of Chile.

Horseback riding

There are some spectacular horseback riding places to choose from in Chile. You can either take a long ride along the beach or gallop along a beautiful lake in the forest, or go through the national parks and see the waterfalls, or go out into the dessert hills and pretend you are a cowboy in the Old West and then go down alongside a river in the green valley below. You can see the real untouched parts of Chile on a exciting horseback ride, an experience you will never be able to have from the window of a tour bus or a taxi.

Fishing
