Check-Ins

Good description, otherwise hard to find. The first bit down is a bit steep, but we still managed with a 2W Van and muddy weather. If you drive till the end of the gravel road till the beach there are plenty of spots to stand. Top stop near Pucón! Recommended!

We did the Ché tour and parked at the main plaza, at the side of the church. No problem for big rigs at all! Did’t stay overnight because there was not much visa time left, we were in a hurry. But following to local people no problem to stay overnight there, very safe place.

The visitor Center was closed, because there are almost no tourists yet, due to the Covid pandemic. Someone of the Community Center called and a man came to open the Tourist Office. We booked the tour, still 40 BOB per person. Our guide arrived within minutes. We could choose, do the tour by walking or by car. We were so surprised, this was really a very interesting experience. The guide explained everything in Spanish, very slowly and patient to explain with different words if we didn’t understand a certain word. It was very easy to understand him, despite of our very limited knowledge of the language. He also understands basic English, just in case. Gonzalo Flores Guzman is an independent guide that also can organise other tours in the region. He can be contacted through facebook on his name, or Vallegrande Ruta del ‘’Che’’.

Una playa rocosa extensa, hay caminos que bajan de la ruta..
La aduana se ve desde acá, estará a unos 3000 mts.
El lugar es súper tranquilo, solo pasaron por el camino dos camionetas buscando algas. No se escucha el ruido de la ruta.

Primitive camping right along a river, with access to Dragon trail ATV trail system. Picnic benches and grills at each site. Pit toilet.

This is now closed. There is an occasional checkpoint a bit further east, but not every day and very casual.

Stayed one night, was told by a consistent camper there that the sheriff will knock on your door if all of your wheels aren’t parked on the pavement, otherwise he will leave you alone. There’s a nice grassy area that I parked in, nice for the day but at night, pull onto the pavement

Some big gravel area next to Wadi Numeria Canyon entrance. A bit on the slope, but ok for a night and good to go to the canyon in the morning.

Also warm place, perfect not in summer, pleasant temperature at night, quiet (only sounds of donkeys and cocks around)

In theory, you can drive in the canyon, entrance is free, a lot of rubbish. Probably better with 4WD, but might me manageable even with 2wd.

24/7 gas station with quiet parking around the side. Little grass area behind some trees for animals to use the bathroom away from the public. Was quiet and didn’t get disturbed at all. Clean bathrooms inside as well.

Nice hostel, very clean, very calm out of town.
100bs for a double bedroom, without breakfast.
There's a kitchen you can use.

a truck parking for overnight. Very calme, Nice and quiet. Near a few services, but do not count on any service or rest rooms at night.

Yes, you must really dig trains for sure! Great location, but had 5 trains go by in 2hrs so decided to move to Walmart

its not really a great spot, but probably good for a late night stop, better then directly at the road

Super nice campsite. Clean and spacious Ablution. Beautiful sunsets as the camp is situated right next to the river. wifi at the bar. camp owner was very helpful and had lots of tips for our journey through chobe. he also helped as filling up our water tank.

Like already said, the parking lot slopes so it's hard to find a level spot. Next to railroad track; had 3 trains pass in the night; not near a crossing so no horns.
Sign says a Discover Pass required (Washington State)

Passamos a noite aqui, de frente para a praça , pedi a senha Wi-Fi no bar e ficamos bem tranquilos.

Called ahead and asked if campers could spend the night, was told yes towards the back. Nice and quiet, modern store, clean bathrooms. Lots of good shopping and restaurants around. Plenty of Verizon signal.

We camped before the cattle guard, numerous spots along there. Later saw the sing at the cattle guard, seems like officially you are to be past that guard. Doesn’t seem to be enforced as many look like they’ve been there for q long time. Area does need to be cleaned up.

Good spot to park, right by a bathroom and stairs to beach.

Shoulder parking on the PCH.

No parking 2am-4am; technically.

nice quiet place. Slept like a muthafuc*** baby.

Pretty spot. As described. You will be covered in dust by passing vehicles. We have found no place you can get off the road a bit to avoid this annoyance. Lots of birds. A Mexican Whip-poor-will woke us up at 5am right over head. Neat! We pamper our rig so we drove up in 4x4 low. Sometimes 4 high. Lots of sand pits hard to avoid.
No fires, no dogs allowed.
No cell reception.
40 MX pp entrance fee.

big parking, no problems. On the other parkings around there are "no overnight" signs. For sure at Walmart parking lot. 2-3 other small campervans

What I liked the most here is the camping area, it is huge, there is a small fenced area near the grills, but you can stay far away from them. Bathrooms are simple and clean. The owners are extremely friendly, and you can use the main kitchen. There is a stream surrounding the property, with small natural pools and small waterfalls. And there is the story of the pickaxe, but this one you will hear from the owner himself.
We pay 40 reais p/p/pn.

O que eu mais gostei aqui é a área de camping, ela é enorme, existe uma pequena área cercada perto cas churrasqueiras, mas você pode ficar bem distante delas. Os banheiros são simples e estavam limpos. Os proprietarios são extremamente simpaticos, e pode se usar a cozinha da sede. Existe um riacho envolvendo a propriedade, com pequenas piscinas naturais e pequenas cachoeiras. E existe a história da picareta, mas essa você vai ouvir do proprietario mesmo.
Pagamos 40 reais p/p/pn.

The campground supports large RVs, but I don't know if the road does.

A área de camping suporta grandes RVs, mas eu não sei se a estrada suporta.

A la carte typical food from Minas Gerais. We ordered a plate for two and there was plenty of leftovers.
Very good quality.

Restaurande de comida tipica mineira a la carte. Pedimos prato para duas pessoas e sobrou bastante.
Qualidade muito boa.

Last site on short road out. Road is easily passable. Last site has great view of Indian Peaks and Longs. Stayed one night. Free. No services. Easy access from home.

Dear travelers, please beware of thiefs in this region and in the whole Nicoya Peninsula!

This guy (photo attached) just tried to steal our surfboard, which is mounted to the van (location as marked).

His name is Pitu. He is police known in Samará.

Needed a place sleep for the night , we were able to stay here at a short notice with the employees for the night. We made sure to let them know we were out there.. however, they said not many people ask. We also saw SUVs and vans out there with us for the night.

Cozy house run by the owners. Hot showers, fully equipped kitchen. Its possible to storage bikes inside. Close parking for cars. I payed 20k for the room. Contact Elena +56998397809.

As described. Nice campground close to lots of trails and water adventures
