Alternative camp at about 4,250 m in the Calinca/Cutatambo valley, about 4 km off the main line, reached over the San Antonio Pass (about 5,000 m) from Huanacpatay; base for the Siula Grande base camp walk of Touching the Void. Huayllapa charges an extra S/10 for the Cutatambo valley.
Guanacpatay
Campsite at about 4,450 m on the Elefante pampa in the Huanacpatay valley, 1.5 hours below Punta Cuyoc (5,000 m), with a toilet but no other facilities. It is Huayllapa land, covered by the Huayllapa fee (S/50 in 2026, collected at Viconga or here).
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "not confirmed by the operator" are listed on OpenStreetMap or in guides but could not be checked on an official page. The campsites on the Huayhuash Circuit belong to the local communities: flat grass by a stream or lake, usually with a simple toilet, and a community member who collects the fee in the evening. Nights are below freezing above 4,000 m; treat all water, as cattle graze everywhere, and carry out your rubbish.
The Huayhuash Circuit route works offline in Outest, with these places on the map and a trail guide you can ask about water, weather and the next village.
