We spent the night here so we could visit in the morning. Dogs were no issue for us or our dogs. Farmer never approached. We did check in with the office. And gave them some cookies in the morning.

We drove into the large parking lot next to the entrance of the 'Paredón de los manos' in the afternoon (15 min walk). The museum was closed but gate was open. In the evening the friendly farmer came out together with his dogs. We asked if we could camp in the parking lot, he said no problem because he enjoys meeting foreigners, we even drank a beer together in the parking lot and talked a bit. No wind during the night.

great spot, we came at night, road although gravel is in good conditions, exposed to wind (recommended for campervans and so), there's also a big garbage container. we expect to spend s good night here, local dogs are but loud atm but I'm sure they'll get bored soon!

One guy show up and ask us 2000p for the van to stay the night here saying he is the "dueno". The black gate was close so we were outside the actual museum parking. The guy was nice but we did not liked it to pay for a parking... No choice the night was already there.

Beautiful quiet spot just out of town and at the entrance of the painted hands, which we hadn't heard of before but happy to have discovered this unique historic site and having dinner with Cerro Castillo in the last sunlight in the background is just incredible.

Large parking - could fit anybody- with an amazing view. No facilities. Only company we had were sheep, hens and dogs. Shepherd passed by and said hello. Museum is interesting. We didn't pay because the senorita running wanted to close it shortly.

Good place, Nice people, Museo is beautiful and more than a school museum. Beginning off the Careterra Austral and early settlers. Not bad at all. The owner off the " camping " Dominco is building a camping with electricity, duchess, wifi and it will be finished this month. Don't forget the Manos.
