The rains are very rare or completely absent in the northwest and in the northern part of the Andes, where winter is the dry season, while they are moderate in Buenos Aires and Tierra del Fuego, and relatively frequent but quite scarce in quantity in Patagonia. Precipitation is quite abundant only in the north-east (see Posadas, Iguazu Falls) and in the central-southern part of the Andes (see Bariloche), where it often occurs in the form of snow.
In the central and southern part of the Andes, there are resorts where you can ski.
