We just spent an awesome few days in the Valle Fertil, a tiny township near Valle De La Luna.
1. Purchase all camping equipment from home before leaving. In argentina, camping gear is sooo expensive, along with many other things a simple butane tramping bottle costs about 15$ NZ.
we had to borrow a pot, from a friendly loacal to cook any food.
2. Ignorance is bliss, when wild camping, dont ask people what you should watch out for, or really why is there no one else camping at this time of year.
If you enjoy hundreds of frogs, poisoneous spiders, wild dogs and wild horses, then wild camping is for you.
3. Dont camp by river beds, a german tourist camped by a river bed in this desert town and a flash flood swept his tent away.
4. Learn a bit of spanish, the locals in this town are insanely friendly and we had the best time getting to know them, having the local mothers tell us we wer'nt cooking right etc... sharing food and laughs, it was awesome.
