This 300 acre skiing resort is at the base of Mt Aconcagua, 25 km from the national border. The name is derived from the ice formations which look like penitent people praying. There are ski lifts and 25 tracks of varying difficulty at Penitentes.

The resort is suitable for skiers of all levels and is a fun family day out.
