Vega Amarilla

Vega Amarilla is a backcountry campsite along the Rio Olivares valley in the Santiago Metropolitan Region, situated at the point where the route descends from Paso del Cepo.

It serves as an overnight stop on multi-day treks into the area, including expeditions to the Gran Salto del Olivares, and is sometimes used as an alternative to Vega Honda on the return leg of such trips.

The site is also known as Vega Casa de Piedra and lies roughly 13. 5 kilometers from the trailhead.

Arrieros have erected a basic shelter at the location for protection and sleeping, but the camp otherwise remains a primitive, undeveloped stop in rugged mountain terrain.

Trekkers reaching it should be prepared for challenging conditions, with daily hiking times of six to ten hours typical on routes through this valley.
