Its not skiing in the northern hemisphere, it's entirely different. No lift lines, but the lifts to the good runs are not a time to rest because you have to pay attention and hold on. The snow is great and the people all get to know each other and were fun. It's an amazing experience to be at the hotel... More

I have been like 10 times to Portillo. So... I have been through many different conditions. I love the place. It is now expensive in dollar terms due to the weak US dollar for the best rooms. However... el Inca Lodge (really a hostel) costs USD 100 per night all included (except alcoholic drinks). This is just basic basic lodging.... More

Transportation to the resort: Getting to Portillo seems to vary by people. This is our 2nd time to Chile and like the last time we flew into Santiago and spent a night in Santiago to recoup from our flight. Next day we took the ski total bus to the resorts. We do this because flight from Atlanta doesn't land until... More

Some of the highlights of the outstanding service: The staff was without exception very attentive and friendly. The... More

Spent a week at the hotel Portillo. You have not lived or skied until you have skied been here. We will try to return. Good: The skiing is the steepest best I have ever skied. Think of an entire area as the back bowls of Vail or the steeps of Squaw Valley or Crested Butte. As an area, the only... More

Amazing food and lots of it!. Excellent service in all areas! Experienced three great days of powder!

We wanted to stay in the hotel but could not get a room as it was... More
