Alto del Padre : An extensive area for both randonne, heliski, snowmobiles, etc. Of winter activities, the sector has perhaps one of the most dynamic extensions in South America for practicing free-skiing and a couple of hours from Santiago SCL. Skiing was definitely outstanding. There are a number of places to invent a thousand lines, Power POW steep lines. As you see, point ..... Summer is definitely a mecca for downhill, trekking, whitewater kayak, fly-fishing. The sector offers many places with very cheap local cuisine; a symbiotic place for mountain lovers. Let's see what happens in the future during the evolution of this magnificent place ..... The offer is mild (ed?) for transportation and lodging, but the Chileans are always ready to receive visits with Chilean wine and a roast lamb Palo. To organize groups and heliski I recommend Eduardo Frugone [email protected] [note from the editor : text edited slightly to form better sentences in English language.
