Conscious camping in Cochamó Valley

Conscious Camping

Many people want to visit Cochamo Valley during the summer. It's important to be conscious of this and take steps to minimize our impact. Two of these: reserve you campsite and respect the established max capacity. Ver el video The Impact Tourism Has In Cochamó Valley.
→  Fires are prohibited in La Junta, with the exception of rainy days and outside of the high season, when fire hazards are minimal. The roofed areas are the only spaces authorized for fires. Help us to reduce the impact that firewood collection has on the forest, such as trampling the forest and damaging live trees. Always ask the campsite manager before building a campfire and only build it in the established places.
→ Using composting toilets ‒ over pits, flush toilets or going in the woods ‒ assures that human waist doesn't come in contact with the soil or water. After a process of approximately 18 months, it is converted into humus, avoiding contamination of the forest, groundwater, rivers and water for human consumption. 
• Avoid going to the bathroom in the woods and if absolutely necessary use the principles of Leave No Trace and take your toliet paper with you. 
• Do not use wet wipes. These plastic towels do not degrade and are already a worldwide problem.

Carry ONLY what's necessary. If you go for only afew days, you don't need 1 liter of oil or 1 kilo of salt. And when you leave, never leave your leftovers. Almost always it ends up being garbage that someone has to take down. 
carpas Valle Cochamó
Plastic tarps and wet wipes. ¡¡No!! This has become one of Cochamó's worst trademarks. Backpackers use plastic tarps one time and throw it away. The world already is overloaded with plastic. Just don't buy it. If you need a tarp, get a good quality tarp and reuse it. Learn more about the harm wet wipes cause towards the environment at GreenPeace.org.

Only use biodegradable soaps. Try to use biodegradable detergents and use very little (better not at all!). Many commercial shampoos, detergents and soaps saturate the biofilters and pollute the environment. Please, so as not to pollute the nature you came to enjoy, minimize your showers and the time you use them. And never bath nor wash in the river with soaps.

→ Pack it in. Pack it out. And recycle. Don't leave anything but your shoe print. Even if you think it might be useful to someone else, most of the time it becomes trash. Separate your trash before you descend and recycle at the Visitor Center at the trailhead. Bring down all your garbage dry and inside your backpack. Apply in your daily life the 5 R's: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recover, Recycle.

→ Respect your neighbors. Camping La Junta attracts many families with children and serious outdoor adventurers. Many here come to get up early and achieve a big hike or climb. If you stay up late, please do it in a quiet respectful manner. If your main focus is to party, this camping is not a good choice.
→ Dogs are not allowed.
We love dogs but in order to take care of the valley, its flora and fauna, we ask that you visit without your pet.
  • There are species in danger of extinction and the presence of dogs affects their survival. Some of them are the monito del monte, the pudú, the huemul and the vizcacha. Take a look at the article and video "Vizcacha de la Patagonia en el Valle Cochamó" by BioBioChile.cl.
  • There are diseases that other farm animals share with dogs, such as some parasites and the rabies virus or leptospira bacteria, which can be contracted by ingesting, licking, being bitten or even just sniffing some droppings, urine or remains of them.
  • Dogs can also introduce diseases such as canine distemper to mammal populations in the area, causing contagion with serious consequences.
  • There are local dogs from horse guides and dwellers in the area. Their dogs, born and raised there, are territorial and become aggressive towards unfamiliar dogs.
Visiting the mountains implies responsibilities, including respecting these rules and, although in most natural areas there is no written rule, we should reflect on the ecological, socioeconomic and health impact of taking dogs for walks there.
