There are three base camps within the protected area which, as of the 2024-25 season, no longer offer free access and stay. They have no services (no shops, no electricity, etc.) and each one has a single latrine. You reach them on foot, along the different trails that start in El Chaltén. As in the rest of the National Park, making fire is forbidden and all the waste you generate must be carried back to the village.
