Check-Ins

We met someone here, “Elderlys CR” to fill the gas. He claimed he could do the American bottle, that it would take 3 hours. We didn’t want to wait, so we pushed on. Adding a photo of his WhatsApp number. +573024457479

We stop at the police station. The man was really kind. He offered us to use the bathroom and water for free. We were protected from the wind. Nice stop after a long road and before passing the boarder.
The "Ruta provincial 7" (just before this stop) is a gravel road of 60km in a bad shape. We drive at 30km/h a long time. I think it's better to pass by Esperenza when coming from El Calafate.

Ficamos apenas uma noite, é cobrado R$20 por pessoa. O lugar em si é bem bonito, cercado por mata, bem verde. Mas a estrutura parece abandonada, tudo sujo, chuveiro agua fría. Pelo o valor acho que é ok.

Large fuel station with shop, toilets and decent & clean hot water showers (200 pesos p.p.).

Nice pull-off with a nice view of the canyon and surrounding mountains. Very quiet and pretty private, only a few cars driving past me down the road each day. I felt much more comfortable here than at the pull offs near the dam. Unfortunately some people have thrown some trash down the hill near the site, so it’s not the cleanest. Please don’t be like them.

Not sure what type of internet service that last commenter was using, but I was disappointed to find out that the speeds here are NOT as fast as advertised at all. I’m only getting 2 bars of 3G with Verizon, and 2 bars of 4G with ATT. Verizon only works for calls/texts, and ATT service is slow but still useable enough to where I can do my work, surf the Internet, and watch some Netflix.

Overall, a nice spot that I would definitely recommend.

We had two freshly baked breads. Real bread, the first time since we were here in Chile. Glad to jave found this place. was 5.000 clp for two but absolutely recommend this if you like real bread like in Europe.

80+ 85+ 460 ……. Touristy af go better to the Oxkintokt - free overnight!

A día de hoy está cerrado pero se ve movimiento que quizá estén trabando…

Going East: Pulled in here for the oxxo, free public washrooms, no toilet seats or toilet paper. Amazing large overnight parking in the back. Garbage bins everywhere.

Gas station had prices up but was sectioned off as I think they were cleaning up a leak from the morning… I don’t think permanently closed!

Open Air museum and industrial cemetery at the same time. Mine still working (silver and lead) at minimum capacity. Bolivia‘s first locomotive is on display as well as several others. No charge for walking around. Museum was closed, about 240 people still live here. Teh ones we met were very nice and friendly

Estacionamento atrás do YPF. Muito calmo, banheiro fora da conveniência, funcionários muito educados e atendimento de primeira.
O vento é forte, mas faz parte do show!
Acho que foi o melhor YPF da viagem.

They could not refill our Brazilian gas bottle. They said they didn't have adapters and couldn't help pointing out someone in town who could help. In fact the guy didn't want to help us at all. They suggested we go back to Salta, which means traveling hundreds of km back. No way...

Way out of my league, nicest hotel I’ve stayed at in Brazil. Very chic and clean. Secure parking, breakfast, nice helpful staff. Close to food.
I paid 120 reals/night. Bargain for the quality of accommodations provided.

Update: I just found out that it’s mx$200/day to park here.

We stopped in here to inquire about a cabin. 1000 Lira. It was late so we moved on, not sure on the size and condition, so might be worth it. It seemed expensive to us.

Lugar muito agradável. Com chuveiro quente, piscinas e bastante sobra para as barracas. Existe uma cozinha comunitária também. O Ramon é muito simpático e prestativo, seu telefone WhatsApp é +54 9 3757 62-6121

Carga en el dia. Una media hora de espera. La garrafa de 2kg $800

Signs now say RV parking limited to 24 hours.
Typical Walmart not to bad not to good.

Good for a night. Van an rv ok but not for trucks. No much noise

Bien pour la nuit. Bon pour les van et cc mais pas pour les camions. Pas trop de bruit

Lots of parking for all shapes and sizes. Water spigots at the picnic tables and water fountains. Large clean restrooms.

No shade. Highway noise but separated by trees so not too obnoxious.

Separating the NB and SB rest areas so coordinates route properly.

Adding more photos. Vending machines available, facilities new, and picnic tables are covered.

Still a great possibility to stay here in Monrovia!
10$/person for camping and 35$/room for rooms with Ac/TV(Netflix) some have own shower toilet.
With the room and with the camping (if it is not too crowded and if you ask) you can use
Wifi/24-7 electricity/kitchen/ nice salon to hang out/cold water/ 24-7 security/ Well equipped bathrooms with hot water.
There would be a washing machine to use for 10$.
Of course it s unusual prices for overlanding but for Liberia a really good deal.
Food and cold beer very close and super posh restaurants(D calabash) for a special treat around the corner.
We enjoyed it a lot here. Thanks Joe

Massive toll booth here! Charged me 143 for SUV and 14’ trailer

Amazing vietnamese food at really affordable price. The place is far from being fancy (its a maquis after all) but its good ! Best food we had since... Barcelona. The noodle bowl (bo bun) is very good, 3000CFA. We also tried the chicken and ginger, also good, 3500CFA. Beer is 1000 CFA (60cL). A really good surprise in Abidjan.

We spent 1 night in this location because streets are to narrowed for a RV and because we arrived in the night, so that was difficult to approach to a ioverlander recommendation.

As it was in the street on a December 25th was too noisy because everyone was still on celebration, but I. the very morning was very quiet and we could sleep well.

If you have the chance to address to malecón is a very good location.

Newly developed gated RV community in 2022 with sites available for purchase and renting. Pull-in, Back-in and Pull-Through sites available. Full hookups including 30 and 50 amp service.

Minutes away from water/snow skiing, boating, fishing, hiking, side-by-side trailing, winery tours, etc.

local tranquilo rua sem saída entrada pela cancela 06 sem estrutura mas com segurança ... de frente pra praia....lagoa ao lado ficamos um dia ...

Drove by this and just wanted to mention there’s so many businesses here! Great place to stop along route!

Entrance is 8000, but it was worth a visit. Good information, bathrooms, and a lot of flamingos. Acess with a 2wd car was easy.
