Cerro Castor Ski Resort
Province of Tierra del Fuego

The newest ski resort in Argentina and, like everything in Ushuaia, the southernmost in the world, is Castor Mount. Very close to Tierra del Fuego capital city. Castor is only 195 meters over sea level and its top rises to 1,057 meters.

With a skiable drop that reaches 772 meters, Castor Mount distributes 19 runs with different levels of difficulties and off-piste sectors into 20 kilometers. Nordic ski is the most outstanding modality, with circuits that go through lengas forests which can also be visited on snow rackets.

Unlike the general belief, Castor enjoys very good weather and the best quality of powder snow, due to the stability of its temperature, offering one of the longest seasons in South America.

El más reciente centro de esquí en Argentina y, como todo en Ushuaia, más austral del mundo, es Cerro Castor. Muy próximo a la ciudad fueguina de Ushuaia, su capital. Castor está a sólo 195 metros sobre el nivel del mar y una altura máxima de 1057 metros.

Con un desnivel esquiable de 772 metros, Cerro Castor distribuye 19 pistas con diferentes niveles de dificultad y 20 Km. de fuera de pistas. El esquí nórdico es la modalidad más practicada, con circuitos que se introducen por bosques de Lengas que tambien se pueden visitar sobre raquetas de nieve.

Contrario a lo que en general se piensa, Castor disfruta de muy bien clima y la mejor calidad de nieve polvo, a causa de la estabilidad térmica, ofrece uno de las más extensas temporadas de Sudamérica.

this country is incredible, thanks for the pics.

with the pics you are posting could you get them in higher resolution>?

romanyo · October 27th, 2008, 06:20 PM

That photo of Fitz Roy mount is incredible!!!

Forest of Araucarias
This incredible trees, that grow up in a few zones of southern Argentina and Chile, can take us to the prehistory: they haven't changed a lot from the Mesozoic period. They live in cold and arid places.
This trees grow up so slowly, so it can live more than 1000 years! They can grow over 50 metres. Something peculiar is that the branches are in form of an "umbrella".
There aren't a lot of them because of the indiscriminated felling, but thy're now protected by parks in Argentina and Chile
They are also called Pehuenes (in plural). That's the name that Mapuche indians gave to the trees.
The photo I'm going to post was taken in northern Neuquen province, near the turistic town of Caviahue (There down you can see the town)
