If you are fortunate enough to be honeymooning in South America between the months of June and September then the opportunity to ski or snowboard the majestic Andes awaits you. The best resorts tie in perfectly with visits to some of Argentina’s most beautiful destinations. Rio de Janeiro based travel agents Dehouche can take advantage of their network of local contacts across the continent to ensure that couples on their honeymoon get the best rooms in the most romantic hotels and cosy lodges. A suggested itinerary for energetic people who are keen on the great outdoors and are contemplating visiting Argentina during the southern hemisphere winter would involve flying into Buenos Aires and spending a couple of nights in a luxurious boutique hotel in the trendy Palermo district. Activities here would include a private city tour with a local guide and dinner while watching the best tango show in town. An internal flight would then whisk you to southern Argentina and the spectacular Patagonian Glacier region. Here you would spend 2 days on a boat getting up to close to these natural wonders, and 2 more days staying in a charming lodge which is ideally placed for hiking expeditions.

The next stop would be the breathtaking Patagonian Lake district, where you would stay near to town of Bariloche and get involved in horse riding and white water rafting, before heading 12 miles into the hills for a few nights in the resort of Cerro Catedral, which is the most developed ski area in South America, with 5000 acres of skiable terrain and plenty of challenging mogul runs and off piste areas for advanced skiers. There are 50 marked runs and 29 lifts, and the highest point of the resort is 6800 feet. The best place to stay is the Village Catedral Resort Hotel, handily located at the bottom of the mountain.

Another flight would take you from Bariloche to Mendoza, the capital of Argentina’s world renowned wine trade, where you can spend a few days in a boutique wine lodge. Dehouche again have all the necessary contacts and will arrange a tour with their local wine expert to show you around the bodegas (vineyards); there will also be a driver so that you can tuck into all of the tasty samples that are on offer! The final stop on this adventurous honeymoon would be another ski resort - Las Lenas, a one hour flight from Mendoza. The mountains here reaches 11,300 feet and this is the best place in the Andes for adrenalin pumping heli-skiing; of the 40 marked runs, 67% are for advanced skiers. The off piste action is what you really come here for though, and Dehouche will make sure you get to enjoy the best of it and that you finish your honeymoon in as action packed fashion as it began.

Let Dehouche arrange your luxury boutique hotel and enjoy a whole host of insider tips on where to truly escape from it all on your honeymoon.
