Chilean Andes activities

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.
