This is an indoor mall. Many shops, including outdoor wear and shoes. Grocery store. Food court. Unreliable wifi. Charging station in food court now. Work out facility (may have showers). Video game zone. Cinema. Parking for any size rig.

Only option between El Chalten and GGregores. Expensive gas (1700ars)
Shower possible (200 Ars !!) but dirty and not working properly. Better option in El Chalten.

Nice place to camp. Quiet. Saw some other tourist at the end of the day and in the morning after 9.30. We didn’t slept well: extremely strong winds that twirled around the rich formations and let us bounce in our rooftoptent.

Lugar super tranquilo, você pode tomar banho de mar e de rio ao mesmo tempo! É um povoado bem pequeno, mas com estrutura de restaurantes e mercadinho. Sinal de celular não pega, mas você consegue Wi-Fi com as barracas da praia. O banheiro do Centro Comercial Cultural fica aberto, mas não tem ducha. Encontramos uma ducha na barraca Boca da Barra. Aproveite o por do sol no mangue, é lindo!

We had to pay 100c for the vehicule to enter.
They give a receipt

we came from Uganda side and had mostly tar road and the last few kilometers are nearly finished but very good gravel road as well. from Sipi Falls it took as about 2 hours to the boarder. also on kenya side everything was tar road. we had our east africa visa and some cash for the road tax (40 usd or about 5000 ksh) and so it was the easiest boarder ever. it took us less than one hour to cross.

Good place, small but clean and comfortable rooms. There is a restaurant on site that opened especially for us in the evening. Gated and secure parking. Staff are lovely and friendly. We paid 135,000 Colombian pesos for a room with breakfast included ($29USD at todays exchange rate).

Petrol station with restaurant and a bus station behind. Clean bathrooms, paid showers. It's not possible to stay overnight here.

Sandy path hide with trees for cyclist in from of waterfall

Multiple boondocking locations along the gravel road. No amenities, just lots of space for dry camping. A few other campers scattered around. No signs. Possibly future development?

we where here for 1 night. 7000 pppn.
WiFi is terrible, only at the building, if you are lucky.
you can ask for breakfast, it's 4000 pp. it includes a lot of Homemade bread, jam/jelly and 2 scrambled eggs (pp) and coffee and tea.
camping spots are ok for vans not really for tents, it's very rocky and not flat. there are 3 huts where you can put your tent in.
there are chickens and turkeys walking around and a few dogs who kept on barking at night. so we didn't slept very good.
the showers are clean and hot.

totally adequate. we rolled in in our 30' RV around dusk, bought a few things at Target, had dinner at the sushi place across the parking lot, and stayed the night. we tried to stay low-key (no generator, minimal lights) and no one disturbed us. we left around 7:45am.

Came her in 2019 and did the WW rafting trip which was excellent.
This time we did the mellow Rio Espolon rafting which was an absolute pleasure. Sun shining helps but also swam in the river as it was soooo warm. Fab-u-lous. Staff are great and lady on reception/front of house speaks excellent English (Georgia?). Paid 40,000 CLP pp for. 1.5 hrs trip. Well worth it.

Easy fill up in the building after the dump. Free and running in the winter. Rooms for most rigs

beautiful place and super clean. in January it's off season so I had the whole thing to myself. during the day i didn't feel the urge for a warm bath but early in the morning it was just amazing. the showers were cold which was a perfect refresh during the hot day. the owners are really kind and working the whole day keeping the camping clean. I was charged 35 electricity included for one person with camper. for me that's a mandatory stop

Place is nice to hang up at several restaurants directly at the sea. Unfortunately the beach is full of garbage ☹️.

Toilet and simple cold shower are available. Price is 5 $ pp.

Stayed here for two nights in a single room (4400 pppn). Good Location. Air conditioned, WiFi, good Restaurant / Bar. Garage for motorbikes (no cars). Simple furniture but clean. Friendly and helpfull stuff. Laundryservice for 500 ARS available. Recommendation!

we are traveling with 3 kids and this ranch has been a dream come true for them. Not only has Constanza chicken, paon, pig, alpaca, and horses, but we also had the chance to meet with her brothers who live nearby and organized horseback riding lessons for the kids and for us. Galoping at the sea for the first time has been an amazing experience. It s not the best place if you want to swim in the sea, it s quite dangerous there. but you can swim on some sea lakes between the dunes if you want.

This spot is marked as a picnic site and many overlanders stay here for a night, according to a local who came by to get water from the river.
Enough space for about 5 vehicles, also big trucks. Not much shade, only two smaller trees.
It is right on the river and we watched hippos floating by on the water for almost 3 hours.
Locals are washing their clothes nearby but didn't disturb us. Only children came by to say hi.
Amazing sunset above the Okavango.
Very peaceful and quiet at night, only the sounds of the frogs to be heard.

Thanks to this marker, we decided to check it out and stayed for the night. Beautiful spot by the river.
Hippos in the water and locals washing their clothes nearby. Friendly children came to say hi.
I created a new check-in place marked now as wild camping spot.

Another beautiful visit at the most lovable place, with pictures

We went here to Dr. Sanchez, because our dog had two knots in her breast. The doctor did a completed checkup as well a complete blood test. After everything was done and good to go, he cut the knots out under anesthetic. After two hours the dog was fit as nothing did happen. The stitches are almost invisible, better than last time we had her stitched in Europe. Very recommended.

Very faint sign posted at what looks to be the entrance that no motor vehicles are allowed on the road. Not sure if there is some other entrance or if they just parked on the roadside but I've moved on to find somewhere else

Fairly new, clean and spacious station with excellent services, not used to overlanders, though.
No problem to stay on the parking spots for cars, not allowed to mix with the trucks or find a less lighted space.
Good and friendly people.
Good WiFi inside, weak outside.
Good cell phone reception.
Pro tip: sleep with ear plugs.

Agrest place, beside rute. Wild Camping. Beatiful View. Amazing place hide from rute.

Sitio agreste, escondido de la ruta. Hermosa vista. Pasé la tarde y la noche.

Tried making the run from Villa Insurgentes to San Juanisco, seeing a couple of spots on the map on the way.

Nope. New Highway won't you get to them.

Found this dirt road. I have a small Honda CRV, and am hidden from the highway. A tall rig would not be. But there appears to be roads leading deeper and farther.

NO VERIZON BARS.

Definitely coyote and cattle (you can hear their bells) country.

But no trash.

Also, lots of stickers. walk your dog on the dirt and you should be ok

stop at the muelle, it doesn't work anymore...500 m from ruta 7 Carretera Austral, take "acesso muelle"...

Lugar seguro, banho quente gratuito, ótima lanchonete e restaurante
