Information

It is a camping site with a recreational area and a stream located in the province of San Luis, at about 4 kilometres from the locality of Los Molles. It is at the beginning of the Sierras de los Comechingones (a mountain chain), and next to it is the Los Molles Stream, which usually has crystal clear water.

It has a grocery store, handicraft stalls, toilets, a parking area and cement tables and benches with barbecues. There is plenty of shade from the trees.

At the end of the campsite, where the internal road ends, the so-called Ecosenda de los Sentidos begins. It is actually two trails. The first one is of low difficulty and lasts about an hour, and has a small climb at the beginning, leads to a viewpoint, crosses the stream and ends on the other bank (which you have to cross by water to get back to the campsite). This trail in one part forks into another one of medium difficulty (only for people in good physical condition) and takes about two hours in total.

To get there, a paved road leads off Provincial Route 1. After 2.5 km you arrive at the entrance of the complex, where you pay an entrance fee. There are buses that go through the localities of the so called Costa de los Comechingones (ask if they leave at the fork of Route 1 or if they arrive at the entrance of the camping site).
