Stop by El Refugio at 231 Sarmiento between the streets of Mendocinas and Espana. Also, El Refugio will purchase any unused canisters or left-over white gas when you get off the mountain. You'll have to negotiate a price but it's the best way to get rid of unused fuel before flying home.

Before buying, I would ask them put down in writing how much they'll pay for the returned fuel :? Also, if I remember correctly, the white gas they sold us was quite wet.


Return to South America
