Windsurfing and Kitesurfing
In Argentina, there are spectacular places to feel the force of the water and the wind while windsurfing and kitesurfing.
Ullum Dam and Cuesta del Viento
San Juan
The wind is the star in San Juan’s dykes. Along the Interlagos Route, a beautiful road among mountains and water mirrors, you get to Ullum and Punta Negra to practise windsurfing and kitesurfing –there are also other water sports, such as SUP or wakeboarding.
Cuesta del Viento in Rodeo is one of the world’s best places to learn and practise kitesurfing and windsurfing. It is characterised by its strong winds and a scenery in which the mountainous aridity contrasts with the transparency of the water.
