🍫 Inside the ski resort, indulge in the famous chocolate shops (Mamushka & Rapanui) and savor delicious meals at the many restaurants, perfect for rest and refreshments
This year, I finally completed the skiing plan that was put on hold last year. The exhilarating first-time skiing experience, combined with visits to three different resorts, was absolutely thrilling. The adrenaline-pumping extreme sports certainly lifted my spirits ❤️ Cerro Catedral in Bariloche stands out as the most comprehensive one-stop destination among the three, making it highly recommended for those with limited time and beginners eager to challenge themselves 📝
