Additional information:
While reviewing I found a nomination in this zone that had nothing around when viewed from above, yet in the picture there were houses and trees and there was no street view, I've been seeing nominations in this place since long ago and I always thought there were too many wayspots for it to be such a small place located in the high mountains.
When taking a closer look to the wayspots located there (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 to name a few but check the others) they are mostly related to hiking trails, ski zones, or monuments but if you see the street views around (1, 2, 3, 4) the place is just a few small hotels, no high vegetation with just a few trees here and there, it cannot be considered a small town, and some of the wayspots have names of other places, municipalities or cities.
To me this is a combined effort to create a place to spoof because i don't think everyone will accept many of these nominations yet they are still accepted when there is not a street view for like 90% of them. Some people are organized to do this or someone has too many accounts. Either way I'd like to ask niantic to take a closer look at this and take action because this is ABUSE in all its letters.

@NianticGiffard @NianticVK can you please look into this, everyday fake wayfarer nominations are added and approved with no Streetview and the same photo for the nomination as the supporting photo.
Now they are nominating higher the mountain
Here are real pictures of the place since I visited it recently
Clearly an abuse of the wayfarer system.
Thanks for flagging! We'll review the report and share the decision afterward.
I've been tracking the place and I saw that some of them got removed but there are still many fake wayspots left, I'm gonna try to list them.
That leave us with these wayspots that seem to be real : Refugio Campo Base , Parador Cruz de Caña , muralla de escaladores , Mapa de Pistas and Bienvenido a Penitentes .
I'm not sure about Cervecería Patagonia, Mural Los Penitentes and mural de obrero, but seeing all those fakes, I'd assume these are all fakes too.
HERE'S A REAL WAYSPOT FROM LAS CUEVAS for you to have an idea where it is located.
Also, fake submissions are still being sent. Today I found the one i'm posting in the next comment (wait for approval)
of course there was no street view to prove it was there so I assume it's another fake.
another one

abusers keep sending nominations @NianticOtoStar
also, there are 2 wayspots left that are fakes in the mountain where there are no structures, these are mural indu and mural de puma (duplicate of this one, which also seems to be fake but there's no way to prove that since it seems to be on a building, but with no street view)
