El rincón del Motoco

El Rincón del Motoco — also known as Refugio Motoco — is a remote, wild campground set deep in the Valle del Motoco, within the Valdivian forests of the Lago Puelo area in Chubut.

Situated on the banks of the Arroyo Blanco o Motoco, it is one of the most secluded destinations in the ANPRALE protected area, surrounded by ancient alerce trees and extraordinarily clear mountain waters.

Reaching the campground requires roughly eight hours of trekking from the trailhead; day visits to the camping area itself are not permitted given the trail's length.

The site offers a spacious, wooded camping area, dormitory bunks for four, a fogón and grill, showers, bathrooms, home-cooked meals, a small provisions store, and Wi-Fi.

From camp, a low-difficulty, 5 km round-trip trail leads to a mirador overlooking the dramatic falls where the Río Blanco meets the Río Azul. No reservations are required.
