There is nice camping on the river banks at (-42.01151, -72.02404).There are safe cable crossings for Río Alicia (-42.02393, -72.05756) and Rio Unniverso (-42.03852, -72.12473).There are several settlers in the valley which offer camping (see picture on FB page, rincon bonita is glamping with fly-in guests, so skip that one). Our objective of the hike was Bernaditta Alegria which offers camping at 6000CLP/person with hot showers included. Bernaditta also offers half board (delicious food) sleeping in a bed for 45000CLP/pers/night. She has starlink internet nowadays, which is free to use when she puts on the solar battery 2-3 times a day for like half an hour. She still remembers well when we stayed at her ranch back in 2013, because on the night when we camped there, a puma came out of the mountain which killed a sheep somewhere 50m from our tent. It's a lovely place to go with kids.There are a lot of wasps because of the fruit trees, so in autumn they might become very aggresive.
