Camping conditions on the altiplano and southern patagonia
What are camping conditions like on the altiplano and in Patagonia?
I want to do some camping whilst I'm there and have a couple of tents. The lightest one is the best technically but isn't free standing. If the ground is pure rock that means taking a hammer which negates some of the 2kg weight advantage (though saves lots of bulk) it has over my more roomy tent which will cope just fine free standing (with the bike as a anchor).
Also conditions are likely to be cold at night In November are we talking -12c and the likes, or is that reserved for winter? -5c or so means I can take a lighter smaller bag.
Of course all of these is assuming that it's fine, and reasonably safe to just turn up and wild camp on in the isolated countryside.
Thanks
