Tons of places to camp along this road. High enough in elevation to escape the Phoenix heat.

Love our public lands - pack it in, pack it out, leave no trace!!!

Hwy 401 Eastbound, huge rest area with gaz, restaurants, lot of places to park

First place after the aduana, they accept to sell a soat to foreigners.

Fuel Station with very clean toilets and potable water. We filled petrol here and water for free.

We stayed here for one night after the waterfall hike. It's free even if you don't do the hike. Very nice and calm place. Remember to put all your things away at night. We had left our body board to dry outside and the morning when we left it was gone.

Huge place with scattered camping sites by the lake. Electricity only. Dump station available. Very quiet. 13$ per night. Cell coverage average.

Easy access dump station and potable water at rodeo grounds 7/10mile west of town. Turn on Broadway Ave just south of Sinclair station. $5. Also overnight camping with full hookups for $13. One night limit. Big rig friendly.

the coordinates are in switzerland but this place should be in panama. probably just remove it from iO?

Protected beach where sea turtles come to lay their eggs. You are not allowed to enter the beach at your own, but you can wait at the terrace and the guards will call you, if a turtle shows up. However no guarantee to see one.
PLEASE if you come here RESPECT THE WILDLIFE!!!
Follow the guards. No camping, no light, no littering. Thanks.

Municipal campsite on the edge of the small town of Tamberias. Green lawn with shade, Barbeque and a pool. Toilet and showers very old and just usable. Hot water shower. There are lights and one power point. Height restriction at the gate so no vehicle higher than 2.5m can enter. We paid we paid 700 Peso per night for 2 people and our vehicle. The town is nice with free WiFi on two places. You are walking distance from a few shops and restaurants.

$15/night - $7.50 with pass - payable in cash or cheque - US bank only. A quiet night.

Still $5. The guy at the 7-11 gives you the code to unlock the door.

Cleanish on this date. Endless luxurious hot water. Three shower stalls in the men's. Likely the same in the women's.

Free water from frost free hydrants in the park.

i stayed here last night.there was an unlocked gate tht I opened and closwd behind me and just park a few meters in, since I wasnt very sure.it was dark already.a few cars passed on the dirt rd outside.no 1 came.very scarce 2G signal.did not see toilets(?)

a km ago ,going north said road "maintenance" but they also told me this is 80km dirt road "ripio" in bad shape! the last sure gasoline is in Chos Malal, although could be an erratic more expensive ones in Barranca

note: this should not diacourage u from going up! it is a truely stunning route with incredible,unique rock formations and a free hot spring ! 2wd is ok

update: not in such 'bad shape' as locals described it.Just lots of lovely washboard😅 and a few spots maybe bad in the rain..its river rocks(round not sharp as in other areas) enjoy have a sandwich on the way..is a nice landscape/route

good and cheap mechanic. we were stock 2 days because the direction hose broke, a local gave us this contact. with an fabricant of hose close-by they could fix it.
the Garage is right in the entrance of Taltal (no sign outside), next to the Rotary Club Taltal sign.

Ok sites, but the beach is beautiful! Fairly quiet this time of year and during the week, but judging by the amount of fire rings on the beach it can get really busy! 😉 Good cell service on the beach!

Yes, free spaces, but they seem to go quickly. I was unable to park there.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY/OFF-SEASON PARKING
Gravel lot between the aquatic center and the whitewater rafting park.

We did not plan on staying in Cascade, but had a roadside emergency. Local PD gave us permission to park in the lot, since it was the off-season and very late at night. This lot would be appropriate as a last-ditch, emergency stop, not as a place to camp out for days on end. There was a blue spigot over by the rafting park, although we did not check to see if the water was on. Presumably during the season you could fill up there. Our night was quiet and no one bothered us.

Most everything should be able to comfortable drive an park at San Cristobal (definitely not worth walking up to here). Making it to this point doesn’t require being insane nor a 4x4 vehicle but you will appreciate having a capable rig of a smaller size and a competent driver. I stopped in San Cristobal and was happy to walk the distance.

From here Maps.me and AllTrails both have the route. Climb up to where it Ts at top and take a left and stay high.

Overall, if you’ve visited one of these “lost” sites then you probably don’t need to do this one. If you haven’t and you’ve got the energy it’s fun to check out and a different than an uncovered site.

Not open to public anymore. This place is closed.

Excelente Hostel, muito agradável, bonito e moderno. Oferece opções de quartos coletivos e individuais com suíte. Atendimento muito bom, pessoas muito simpáticas. Localização ótima, bem próximo a Praia Brava e Los Dedos. Excelente custo benefício em Punta del Este

There is a $10 fee to park, courtesy of Parks and Recreation. They could.not even be bothered to clear the snow. We did not stay.

still a good option. Perfectly quiet, toilets clean and open all night. You don't even have to enter to the Laguna.

Another recreation park that locals come for picnic by the beach. In the area called Meditation section you can camp 5 steps from the waterline. Men are allowed to swim at the beach area next door. Police comes by regularly and says hello. No problem camping here after permission requested. There is cold showers and toilets provided.

Dump station free. The road is signposted. Follow the sign that says "RV service". It also has propane waste, and non-potable water but it didn't work when I wanted to use it.

really scenic gravel road mostly 4000 m high .You will see vicunas and other wild animals .Passable with 2WD if dry .Many colors of moutains .
This road HV 121 start between Huaytara and San Phelipe and goes to Laramarca .
