Penitentes Ski Resort in Mendoza , Argentina

Penitentes ski resort is located 170 km far from the city of Mendoza, it is surrounded by the impressive Andes mountains ,including the Aconcagua, the highest peak in the southern hemisphere .It is a mid-sized resort, visited mainly by people from Mendoza and Buenos Aires.

There are 300 hectares where  you can ski and enjoy the beautiful scenery, besides, the  weather in this area is usually sunny and dry . There are several hotels in the area where you can stay.

The road trip from Mendoza is nice .

The resort wasn't crowded at all when we got there and we had a great time.However,  I suffered from mild altitude sickness since it is 3,194 metres at the top and we had just been at sea level in Buenos Aires.
