Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
A flat sandpit/ digger pit just next to ruta 40. Most likely the best wind coverage you can get between Ushuaia and Perito Moreno as you are in a pit. Secondly the sky at a cloud-free night is worth a stay for itself. So enjoy the day in El Chalten and just leave there around 7pm. Then enjoy the stars after dinner and go on the next day. The entrance is on the southwest side of the GPS location
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

Report Check-Inlot of Space and you Can be covered from the wind. no noise from the road. hard to find. from the north, continue a few hundreds meter to see a road/ path at the left side. take it to come to this spot

Report Check-InNice spot on the way south or north. Wind protected as good as it can be at the end of the pit.
This windshield had me thinking it was a good idea to start my drone. As soon as I was a few meters out of the pit, the drone was lost to the winds: 7 mins fight but it was carried away faster than I ever thought possible.
We did a 2,5 km hike down to the last known point... didn’t find it. If you would like to give it a try (and collect the 64 GB Micro-SD as reward), these are the coordinates: -49.193925 ,-71.330931 (Copy&Paste to maps.me)
If you find it: please send us the last pictures taken ([email protected]) and throw the drone in some trash. We are feeling bad for not only losing it but littering...

Report Check-InIn the way Gobernador-El Chalten, you ll see a small road on your left. The sand pit is pretty big, but the wind is still present. Good spot for the lunch.
