About campsites

You can camp at private campsites inside the village of El Chaltén or away from it, and at the wild base camps of Los Glaciares National Park. From the 2024-25 season, the campsites located within the National Park are no longer free and open to the public; they have public latrines but no services, and to heat or cook your food you must bring your own gas stove, as making fire is forbidden.

Base camps in Los Glaciares National Park

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. For more information we suggest reading the Recommendations during your stay.
