About this spot
Cuesta del Viento is a top-flight kite and windsurf destination located in the Argentinian Andes. It is famous for its extreme thermal winds that funnel through the mountain valleys during the summer months.
The lake offers a dramatic high-altitude setting with strong, reliable afternoon winds. It is the kind of spot experienced riders plan a whole trip around, with high-intensity sessions in one of South America's most rugged landscapes.
