Guide
Refugio y Camping Los Cuernos is a mountain refuge and campground on the W Trek, set beneath the Cuernos peaks beside Lake Nordenskjöld. It’s an overnight stop reached as part of the hike, with tent camping, refuge accommodation and cabins. Plan it into your route and reserve before you arrive.
The shared camping area has bathrooms with showers and hot water. Meal service is available, but dinner, portions and value can be uneven, so treat it as a useful option along the route rather than the reason to book here. Some cabins sit uphill from the dining and bathroom buildings; check your cabin’s location and keep a headlamp handy for the walk after dark.
The camp sits in the sector of the Cuernos peaks and Lake Nordenskjöld, with a waterfall also noted in the area. The scenery is part of the overnight: you’re stopping beneath the mountains along the W, not coming in for a separate road-side attraction.
