We spend one night there, beautiful place and very quiet. There was an other camper. Lots of wind and fog so the view was not as beautiful as it may be.
Report Check-InTres bel endroit pour dormir au bord du rio. Tres calme possibilite de faire un feu Aucun service pas de reseau.
Report Check-InJust perfect, super quiet and nice views.
We drove with our old RWD van here, no problem at all.
Beautiful spot to camp with magnificent glaciers views ! Tks to the App and all of you ! After the 3/4 hours Conaf hike yesterday to the lower overview platform, we enjoyed that spot. Here they were, all the glaciers and mount St Valentine ( San Clemente) the highest in whole Patagonia. Care with fireplaces at the camp ( well maintained anyway). The fire is the enemy! The road is a real nightmare for campers who care for their house on wheels. I already complained. That road was opened less than 20 years ago .. and never finished. The road entrance in puerto tranquilo bears a beautiful sign saying so : En construcción! (Building). Calaminas for kms and grouped holes are the main problem: locals don’t care! Chilean tour operators - making lots of money using that road ( to laguna San Rafael + glacier hikes at Conaf - tour booking required ahead ) just the same ! This land is called Chile : “Derechos sin Deberes”! It fits perfectly! Too sad. Beautiful Patagonia !
Report Check-InWe spent a night there. Juste perfect place to sleep. With a nice view and a river
Report Check-InPhenomenal drive out here. Great spot. Very quiet. Nice view of a glacier in the distance. Lots of wind in the evening, but still doable in RTT. A couple fire pits. No problems with horse flies this time of year, but definitely some mosquitos.
Report Check-Innice spot indeed, ice cold water, hidden from the road, but very windy right now
Report Check-InReally nice and peaceful place. We parked in a little space between some trees to avoid the wind but there is a lot of space along the river. Very nice place for stargazing.
Report Check-InWe spent a night here, for the next day to walk to the glacier. Nice place, very special with beautiful view😍
Report Check-InDid not sleep here (slept at tadpole earlier) but this looks more beautiful!
Report Check-InThis place was lovely - private and picturesque. Easy to find from the road and safe for two-wheel drive. Our favorite campsite yet!
Report Check-InStill a great place! Large, quiet, clean, next to the river, amazing views, a few spots with wind protection,... We loved it!
Report Check-InPerfect place. Large and flat. Crystal clear water. Not windy during the night we were there, but you can find some cover. No signal. There are few more places like this on the way to Bahia Exploradores. But if you are looking for place in Valle Exploradores this is the best place!
Report Check-Inas described, really nice place. no noise from the road, view on a glacier but not the exploradores tough
Report Check-InPerfect place, room for several campers/trucks and tent space as well. Beautiful views and the river lulling you to sleep. Horseflies like everywhere else.
Report Check-InSpot de bivouac parfait pour une nuit au calme en pleine nature!
Report Check-InVery beautiful spot indeed! There is a view of the glacier but not in the valley, up on the mountain. The horse flies are terrible though!
Report Check-InWe checked a lot of the iOverlander spots in the valley and found this was one of the best: panorama, wind protection, remote. The weather changed a lot from Rio Tranquilo/sunny to Bahía Exploradores/rain. This point was on the sunny side!
Report Check-InIdeal spot to enjoy landscape, glaciers ans waterfalls. Very peacefull.
