Parfaitement localisé ! A 300 mètres de l’entrée de la cueva.
Il y a de la place pour 2 véhicules en enfilade. À plat. En pleine nature avec une superbe vue. Très calme !
Le top pour aller visiter la cueva !

You are not allowed to park in the car park if the visitor centre so the ranger told us to park here. It’s fairly sheltered. You can use the toilets at the centre, otherwise no facilities. Just a gravel space with enough space for one or two vehicles halfway up the hill from the centre. Note - You can’t access the camping from this side (entering either south or north entrance to Cuevas de las manos). To access the camping (which looks close on the map) you have to enter much further north to the national park as there is a massive canyon in the middle between las cuevas and the park on the other side. Indeed las cuevas is 12,000 ARG now pp. Expensive but amazingly cool! We really enjoyed seeing the cave paintings.

Possibilite de dormir ici dans ce petit emplacement au bord de la route Aucun service et tres peu protege du vent mais c est mieux que sur le plateau. Bien pour une nuit pas de reseau ni wifi sauf dans l accueil de la cueva. Belle ballade a faire a pied dans le cañon !

Great place to stay before or after visiting the Cuevas de las Manos. Park ranger guided us here after not allowing camping at the ranger station. I guess wind protection really depends on the direction of the wind; for us it was the worst wind we've had in all of Patagonia. Amazing sunset and sunrise, though. Not to mention the night sky! I THINK I've had a close encounter with a puma here. As I came back to the van from stargazing, something big enough to make rocks fall down the nearby hill came towards me. I got scared, so I raced towards the car! Later we heard noices that may have been footsteps around the vehicle and the next day found a big puddle of pee next to the camper; round and clean like a cat's, not 'splashy' like a guanaco's. The ranger confirmed that a puma was sighted in the valley that week. 10/10 would stay again!

Park ranger told us this was a good place to spend the night in our camper. It’s fairly sheltered from the wind. It is literally just a wide bend in the road with some space to reverse back and get the van level enough though not perfect. Space for perhaps three campers if parked tightly enough.

You can house the toilets and Wi-Fi down at the visitor centre.

Beautiful spot! We didn't have that much wind, so we enjoyed the beautiful sundown at the canyon and joined the first tour into the caves. Free toilet at the entrance. Could be to windy for tents, but when we were here the weather was good.
It's the last corner before the visitors centre, a bit higher than the official parking.

Great view, semi sheltered from winds. Winds died down at night anyway.

We parked here for the night following the instructions from the staff because we arrived after 6pm and we couldn’t visit the caves.
It was really really windy at night! But the view on the canyon is incredible.

Good place to stay the night for those who do not want to travel late at night. The ranger recommands this place. It is approx 500m before the visitor center in a curve of the road.
No facilities. We stayed here with a camper van. No wind at all.

The ranger advised us to stay here. Wind died down during the night. Glad to have seen the paintings. There are 3 routs to here. One from the south at Bajo Caracoles. One signposted further north from RN40. This is a smoth graded gravel road and one from the estancia further north. Zie comments. Only if you want to go down and out of the gorge.

We spent a very windy night here before visiting the cueva. Although it is right next to the road, there is no traffic, and the views across the canyon were stunning!

The cueva is open all year and the price stays at $200ARS for extranjeros regardless of season. This includes a guided tour which they run hourly from 9am, and the last tour is at 6pm. We were hesitant at first, as it is expensive, but it was very interesting and totally worth it

Stayed here for a night after arriving late, no problems

- toilet available at the visitor center
