Something not right?
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.
We wanted to camp a bit higher than the previous camp spot so we’d have less distance to cycle in the morning and found this place. It’s on the right as the road makes a tight right bend. Not quite flat sandy spot big enough for a small tent and slightly protected from the wind by large rocks and makeshift rock walls. Stunning views of Uturuncu and Cerro San Antonio. Perfect for making an early morning push for the summit. Solid tent and warm sleeping gear required!

Latest Check-Ins
this is to confirm that the place is there and the information is accurate.
for timing purposes:
from quteña Chico to this spot :8 hours (with a fully loaded touring bike, so I assume most people will be faster)
cycling/pushing from here to the highest road of the world, then climbing Uturuncu (on foot) and then going back to queteña Chico: about 11 hours (ca 2 h of this was climbing Uturuncu, and two hours going from the point where the road is not passable by cars to the "highest road of the world point at 5.800 m)
as the place is not visible from the road I left a lot of my stuff here and collected it on the way down.
hope this is useful for other cyclists
