Visitors Center


The visitors center, 700m uphill from the ranger station on a sinuous footpath, is under concession to Naturar, which runs simple accommodations in rather pleasant dorm facilities with 48 wool-blanket-covered beds. Nearer to the ranger station, it also has camping facilities with cold-water bathrooms and a kitchen.
