Charmoso museu de lápis, chaveiros, bibelos e afins.
Ótimo restaurante e doces pra comprar. Local agradável e atendentes gentis.
Nice campsite, very clean toilets!
Shower was available from 8.30 - 18.00. We did not use it. Nice cheeses and marmelades. Museum is small.
This place is awesome. I want to add that it's the same place as 'Granja Colonia'; that there's an on-site restaurant; that the hours are 8:30am to 5:30pm; and that there's a children's playground.

Paying is voluntary
Run by a super nice guy. Payment for camping is voluntary (we donated 200 pesos). Very quiet place to stay. The museum is also interesting and has incredible collections of not only pencils, but also key chains, ash trays, perfume bottles and many other items. Admission to the museum is free but a donation jar is available too (we donated 30 pesos).
