WINTER: LA RINCONADA, CHOLILA, Argentina
Escape the chillier latitudes by migrating to an 880-acre retreat in Argentina’s lake district, 130 miles south of Bariloche, where a new yoga studio with a red-eucalyptus floor overlooks the glacial peaks of the Patagonian Andes. Home is a simple four-bedroom farmhouse, and you’ll dine on organic homegrown vegetables, fresh rainbow trout, and Argentinian beef prepared by local and American chefs, and venture out for horseback riding on the property, fly-fishing in the Río Rivadavia, and hiking in nearby Los Alerces National Park. A weeklong retreat led by a Vinyasa or Anusara instructor costs $1,750, including lodging, meals, yoga, and transport from Bariloche. www.larinconadaranch.com, kcanepa@aol.com
