Chilean Andes activities

This item appears on page 69 of the December 2012 issue.

High in the Andes of Chile and three miles from the Argentinean border, you can stay in one of the geodesic domes ($121, full board) set up by Nevados de Sollipulli (Temuco Region IX, Chile; phone [56] 45 276000). Alternatively, a B&B room costs $84 per night at the resort, which is closed May and June.

In the summer (December-March), among the resort’s expeditions, you can try the 3-day, 2-night, guided “Overnight Stay in the Volcanic Crater” camping experience ($345).

At Sollipulli, you can scale the glaciers on foot or by 4-wheel-drive vehicle or go horseback riding or, in winter, skiing. Book activities at least three days ahead of arrival.
