How to book shelters and camping sites.
Booking the trekking package for 4 or 5 nights is what I recommend the most, the package includes accommodation and meals.
In the season from September to May 1st there are usually a lot of people in the park and mainly the logistics is very limited.
In the park there is only one company that manages the lodges or tents.
You have 3 modalities:
1 - Bring your own camping equipment (you have to book night by night in the campsites).
3 - Sleeping in what they call Elevated Tents, which are very comfortable tents raised off the ground to avoid humidity.
3 - Sleeping in mountain huts.
If you choose options 2 and 3 all meals are included and you avoid having to carry your equipment from your place of origin.
You can book directly on the Las Torres website:

This company has practically the monopoly of all the refuges, the service is very good and the prices are good if you take into account what it costs to supply these campsites in the middle of nowhere.
