Abandonded house with several rooms. We put up our tent inside so totally protected from the wind. Could also park the motorbike inside. Safe and quiet place. There are firepits and even wood. Amazing sky at sunset!

Wonderfull Spot, a bit windy but you can Park behind the Refugio to get a bit out of the wind.
The Refugio have some fire pits inside and a toilet outside. There is also a wonderfull and cute owner.
Please feed him, we not know how he comes up here.

Update: changed the name as this place is 100km from Paso San Francisco. This also where you take a turn leading to Volcano Pissis base camp (90 km) - if you continue pass it you reach a junction with RN 76, from which both Paso Pircas Negras (Chilean border) and Bonete Chico base camp are close.

There are several of these along the Argentinian side and provide basic facilities that could be very welcome in bad weather. Be warned once you cross over into Chile there is only gravel roads and driving winds so it could make sense to stay in a refugio before attempting the non-paved road to Copiapo.
