Although it will begin to be charged on February 1, tourists who want to enter the port of SAE will have to pay $ 173 per person – over 12 years old, residents are exempt – to enjoy the benefits of the beaches of the San Matías Gulf.
On the other hand, now to be able to camp it will be necessary to have a chemical toilet or rent it, to protect the environment and as a complementary sanitary measure to those in force by COVID. The truth is that renting a toilet will cost $ 3,000, while cleaning boxes will cost $ 2,000.
The measure establishes that starting next weekend, those who enter Puerto San Antonio Este with the intention of spending a few days must settle on Las Conchillas beach and have a chemical toilet, such as those that have the boxes and motorhomes.
If you do not move in a vehicle with this type of comfort and choose to stay in a tent or trailer, you must rent a mobile toilet from the local representative of Basani, a firm authorized by the municipality of San Antonio.
The service will cost $ 3,000 for three days, and includes the transport and location of the hut where the vacationer has settled, and the subsequent discharge of the collected waste, explained the president of the San Antonio Bay Environmental Protection Agency, Oscar Echeverría.
They will be individual rentals and cannot be shared with other vacationers, to avoid contacts that could transmit the Covid, he stressed.
“The measure to be implemented is aimed at protecting the natural landscape provided for in a broader regulation established to begin to reorder the beautiful coastal sector and minimize the alterations that the environment has historically suffered,” it was officially indicated.
The plan contemplates that when entering the boxes and motorhomes they must evacuate their liquids in underground tanks in an access portal where documentation and circulation permits for the pandemic are scanned and controlled, in addition to informing the allowed places to gamble.
There they will place a seal that guarantees their inviolability, and when they leave they will have to dump the contents of the baths of the vehicles in the underground tanks. Then the company will transfer those loads to the sewage treatment pools of National Route 3.
In this case, the service will cost $ 2,000 and, like the rent of the bathrooms, it must be paid by both tourists and residents.
The communal official said that the new provision allows camping between the first parador of Las Conchillas beach and the refuge of the fishermen’s club, an extension that reaches about eight kilometers.
For those who attend to spend the day, they will have to use the chemical toilets for public use that will be placed around the two inns that operate on that stretch of the coast, whose owners will be in charge of hygiene and payment for use. While the same company will be in charge of sanitation.
The regulations also determine the prohibition of setting up overnight camps in Punta Perdices, the other pearl that the sector has, where in recent years crowds arrived in different types of vehicles without permanence guidelines.
The protection of the landscape also includes the impossibility of parking the boulders on the shells of snails and mollusks that cover the surface and give it its peculiar characteristic.
