Check-Ins

Lugar isolado e calmo. Longe da rodovia e um silêncio total. Não é permitido pets, pois a normal avisar pumas nessa área. Passamos uma noite muito tranquila.

Estávamos na região central de Florianópolis, e não encontramos nenhum ponto de apoio. Vimos essa praça, perguntei a proprietária de uma loja daqui e disse que é tranquilo a noite e não via problemas em pernoitar.
Lugar calmo, bem arborizado bom pra passear e levar os pets pra andar um pouco.
Não há comodidades. Mercado há cerca de 900 metros, restaurantes, lanchonetes e posto de combustível a cerca de 250 metros.
Lugar não fornece água, mas conversei com uma mulher de uma loja e ela permitiu abastecer um pouco a caixa d'água sem nenhum custo.
Polícia fez ronda na região de noite, ponto positivo.

We were in the central region of Florianópolis, and we didn't find any support point. We saw this square, I asked the owner of a store here and she said that it is quiet at night and she had no problem staying overnight.
Quiet place, well wooded, good for walking and taking the pets for a walk.
There are no amenities. Market about 900 meters away, restaurants, snack bars and gas station about 250 meters away.
The place does not provide water, but I talked to a woman from a store and she allowed me to fill the water tank a little at no cost.
Police patrolled the area at night, a positive point.

Stunning place to park up and then camp and swim, further up the track is a suitable place to pitch a tent. Track a bit dodgy in places but otherwise good.

No need to be in the park. The sunset from here was amazing. We just turned into the first pullout. A quiet night in the desert without a sound from cars!

This spot is for vehicles ONLY. Boondocking. If you have a vehicle, you won't get bugged on West Stockton boulevard there's never anybody there but truckers just staying the night. I have personally used it, it is pretty quiet.The only thing around is a Chevron. Please make Sure you don't leave a mess and ruin it for other people. Thanks.

This location is a large Street pull-off. There is nothing around it is right by the main road, there is enough room for Big rigs Vans or RVs.

This is street parking large enough for big rigs vans etc.

On the map it may look like this road keeps going but it does not this is a dead end. This spot is perfect for all vehicles including big rigs.This is right down the street from gas stations and restaurants. This is not the quietest place but it is a nice quick pull off.

A very beautiful spot on a high cliff behind a wide field where two wadis meet. With a fantastic view of the wadis, the dead sea and the opposite shore. During the day some villagers come to look for herbs, otherwise absolutely quiet and far away from roads. 2WD is sufficient in dry conditions. Can be windy. Please keep the site clean - as it currently is!

Super yummy 😍😍 We took empanadas de queso and we couldn’t stop eating! They cook them in a cute wood oven, which make them delicious 😋
Price: 80 pesos/empanadas (+-0,40€) in may 2022

Worked fine without a code. Dump and fresh water.

May 2022, end of wet season the road to incahuasi island is quite asymmestically bumpy now. I had to air down tires and average speed 30km/h. Of course possible to go faster but it will rattle like hell.

bel endroit pour un picnic
pas d'affichage interdisant de rester pour la nuit.

This marks the entrance to the Gold Butte Region. The road is awful, but doable in low clearance and 2x2. Along this road there are plenty of sandy/gravel sites. Spent one night, almost no traffic. Looks like the area is primarily for side by sides and hunters. Some cow tracks near the river, so don’t be surprised to get a bovine visitor. Signal is iffy.

Very wooden and nice campground! No service but a pool, wifi available, and free showers

Great location with wonderful views! You are right next to the highway but you’re in such a remote area that few cars drive by and the river does drown out a significant amount of any noise. Would be a great sunrise spot for sure!

passamos uma noite e um dia no estacionamento em frente a sos gelo. foi bem tranquilo.

So great place!!! A wonderful
Breakfast on this top… peaceful and essay accès for a 2WD even with low clearance a car can do it. Internet 1-2 bar… just enough for texting and sending pictures

ok for big rigs,no water, not clean, dumping works

Great place run by the owners. Access to the kitchen. Private rooms and shared bathrooms. Hot water. Veanis, the woman, has lots of stories to share about the foundation of the Village and José plays on the guitar traditional music. Payed 15.000clp for a room. Its possible to ask for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Open all year round. Call Veanis +56981541418

-I crossed this morning with a motorbike. Sure it’s the same process for a vehicle.
-Guatemala and Honduras Aduana are in the same building
-Various online sources say first go to Guatemala SAT to cancel your TIP. I tried this and they redirected me to other lines. This is how it went this morning:

-If you have a vax card bypass the COVID test window.
-Go to Guatemala immigration window to get you passport stamped out of Guatemala (free).
-Go to Hondura immigration window. Before your enter Honduras you have to do an online precheck form. Search for it on the US/Hondura embassy website, easy to find, in English and Spanish, easy form to fill out. I got my authorization to enter Honduras emailed to me a day after I filled out the form. First thing they want to see at the Honduras immigration window is this precheck number, if you don’t have it I don’t know what you do. Then they want to see your COVID vax card (don’t ask for photocopies). He asked where I’d be staying that night (but didn’t have to show reservations), what my general travel plan was for the Honduras, and where’d I exit from. Then they electronically fingerprint you. Then you pay 30 Quetzales at this window (weird because its Honduras?). Then they stamp your passport.
-Next go to the Guatemala SAT to cancel (or hold) your motorcycle TIP. They want to see your originals and want 3 copies of your passport, driver’s license, and see the original and want 2 copies of your motorcycle registration. Then they want two copies of your Guatemala and Hondura stamps in your passport, I had to run across the street to the store on the hill to do this (guess you could do this right after they stamp your passport at the Honduras window before going to the Guatemala SAT window). Once they have the copies they go outside, take the Guatemala sticker off the windshield, and look at your VIN number. Then you go back to their counter and eventually they hand you two pieces of paper you need to take back to the store to make 2 photocopies of to hand to Honduras Aduana in order to get your Hondura TIP for the bike. Was really different but the Guatemala girl working behind the window accompanied me to the store for the copies, not sure why, she was super nice.
-Next you go to Honduras Aduana window. They need those two pieces of paper, and two copies of your passport including the entry stamp. Eventually prints out a paper you need to go back to the store (third time) to pay 645 Lempiras. Can pay in Lempiras, Quetzales, or US dollars. You can also exchange money here for fair rates. And buy a beer, toilet paper, toothpaste, this store does everything. Then you go back to the Honduras Aduana Window, show them the paid receipt and paperwork, and she hands you your official Honduras motorcycle TIP.
-You’ll ride about 25 meters a guy will stop and check your paperwork. Nobody ever inspected the contents of my bike. You’re done!

-I got there about 9 am. Lines were small. About 2 hours later when I was done there were about 100 people waiting in line.
-When I got there I didn’t really see anyone dressed as helpers. There were some guys hanging around who may have be helpers. But I didn’t need one. Everyone was super friendly and nice and always politely told me where to go next.

Bridge toll for foreigners is: 1000 ARS or 450 UYU for passenger cars, campers cost 4100 ARS.

The only „established camping“ (hotel parking) of the town did not have any space for us, nor the other 2 hotels that we asked. We found this very secure „cochera“ to park for the night. It has toilets and cold showers, not sure about wifi. You can call the lady Elda +51 981 542 795 to open the door to the inside court. As far as we have seen they also have rooms. There is an old grumpy dog that should not been touched (but quite old, he might not live for ages anyhow… ;-)). We were really happy to stay for 1 night as the possibilities here in the region are so restricted and sleeping anywhere is a bit dangerous along the peruvian coast.

They said the were full (not really sure, the lot looked empty) so we could not stay with our camper. We went to „cochera/ secure parking lot“ at the village entrance (informal campground) and paid 25 soles to stay with camper and 2 people. Good alternative for big rigs as well as the possibilities are very restricted in the area.

propane station gas for van and tank

station gas propane et GPL pour véhicule et remplir bouteilles

There is highway noise, but the view is so pretty!! There is a sign at the very front of the lot by the dollar store that says ‘parking for camper and trailers is prohibited.’
I went in to shop and had asked someone but she said her manager was busy and to hold on, but after 8 minutes, I walked away and continued my shopping.
Stayed overnight without issue

It seems they are no longer providing this service. I asked this morning and was told I‘d have to bring my laundry to a lavanderia in town. We choose La Batea and paid ARS 1600 for two big baskets of clothes (from 4 weeks of travelling), bed linen & towels.

Only people selling fruits/things under the bridge. No one asked for money.

Lavan y secan la ropa, se toman unas cuantas horas. 16 libras a 256 lempiras.

They wash and dry the clothes. It takes a couple of hours. It was 16 pounds for 256 lempiras
