Check-Ins

Good place to stay and leave you car. If you want to service you car this is a good area. The traffic is a bit of a challenge. John has a wealth of information so ask him and he is happy to assist. Place is clean. But there is limited space so ask before arriving. Highly recommended.

Parked here for the night. Of course busy and a lot of noise, happy with the noisecancelling of our headphones.
Big plus of this place is you can use the swimmingpool and hammocks (and shower) of the hotel misiones de chiquitos for 30 Bol pp.
Also the view on the church by night is nice.

Perfect safe spot to spend the night in the heart of La Fortuna. Very quiet at night. Several police patrols passed by between 8-11pm. The tourist buses use this spot for 5-6am morning pickups so lots of diesel idling in the early morning hours. There is a sink for doing dishes as well as a potable water filling station in the square. There are an abundance of services available within a 2 minute walk. We used small leveling blocks to get level. Some spots are much more level than others

Still a nice place to stay. Some people pass by. Have a long walk at the beach.

Hervorragender Campingplatz mit Pool. Sehr, sehr saubere Waschräume, warme Duschen, jeder Platz Tisch, Bänke und Strom/Licht zum Aufladen der Handys.
Viel Schatten

Filled our propane here. It was only available 8am-4pm though.

- for one room we paid 5000 SDG
- Adef is the manager and a very funny and friendly guy. Speaks good English!
- rooms are not clean, especially the showers

Lovely new hostel with spectacular views. The kitchen is great and the rooms are very comfortable and clean, all with private bathrooms. The showers are great! The owner is super nice and welcoming!

Nous sommes arrivés vers 16h et il n'y avait personne sur les lieux. L'accès au stationnement était ouvert. Nous avons profité de la rivière pour nous laver et nous rafraîchir malgré le fort courant. Les douches n'avaient pas d'eau et les toilettes étaient verrouillées. En soirée, un employé est passé. Très gentil et accueillant, il nous a ouvert les toilettes, nous a donné le mot de passe du wifi et souhaité bonne nuit. Très tranquille, nous n'avons pas du tout été dérangés par l'autoroute!

We arrived around 16h and there was no one here. Parking access was open. We enjoyed the river to wash and refresh us despite the strong current. The showers did not have water and the toilets were locked. In the evening, an employee came. Very nice and welcoming, he opened the toilet, gave us the wifi password and said good night. Very quiet, we have not been disturbed at all by the highway!

We came here after checking the 3 main RV places in town. All of them were sardine can packed, and all of them looked like a typical snowbird RV crowd. At least 2 out of the 3 were quite complicated to get to, small roads and incredibly wrong Google Maps directions. Currently, where Google Maps tells you to go to cross the riverbed between Downtown Loreto and Zaragoza (South, East of the airport) is blocked (road Fco. Madero). You need to approach just one road to the East (Nicolas Bravo), go to the riverbed, and drive on road "Baja California" until the crossing, one block West. Traffic pattern should be obvious. Road quality is construction grade, and some of the approaches are steep, be mindful if driving an RV.

The view here is very nice. It's a local hangout, so expect traffic, music, drinking, etc. But at least on a Wednesday night it was minimal. It seems to also get more movement as you approach the tip of the area and the water. Safety-wise it was fine, just be mindful that is an easy place to access for everyone. We saw police patrolling at night, and one of them stopped for a bit to check out our Jeep. I'll leave it up to the reader to decide if this should feel safer or not. There was only one other traveller parked here, an amazing small family on a converted small bus. By the time we arrived they had already spent 3 days on site and said they had experienced no problems. They only mentioned loud music and partying, which is normal. There are trash cans and no other services. Be careful with broken bottles around if you have a pet (or walk barefoot).

Cell phone reception was 5 bars, just typical high ping data. Good for messaging, browsing and other async comms. Not as good for Zoom, or other video conferencing. Plenty of open sky for Starlink. Typical Starlink quality of service without obstructions, so no problems on that front. Also plenty of South exposure for solar panels.

(we use to report on cell service for people trying to work off grid; IG: @pampas.overland)

Great Spot. Follow valet parking signs to front of casino (highrise hotel). They will issue you a pass for up to seven days. Safe, almost level and free.

As informa são controversas. A placa na entrada do estacionamento não permite pernoite. Os moradores e veículos argentinos nos informaram que não há problema. Enfim ficaremos uma só noite…

Nice place for one night, but lots of trash on the right side. We advise to cross the bridge and stay on the left side where it's much more clean !

We stayed here 2 nights with a small van and we had no issues. There is a calm beach nearby, places for picnic and bbq, toilets and potable water available. Walking distance from sightseeings. The parking lot starts getting empty in the evening and people arrive early in the morning, but during the night it is quiet.

Stayed here for one night. Happy to find a place like this only 30 minutes from the big city. It’s surrounded by trees, high dry grasses and some abandoned buildings. Pretty much protected from the wind. You definitely hear the road and the heavy trucks passing, but we preferred this above staying on a parking directly next to the road. Had a very good nights sleep. The official entrance is narrow due to the trees, but our Mercedes Vito high roof fitted through (2,5m high). On the way back we used the axe to make it a bit wider for others. We saw that the fence is gone on the right side of the entrance, so bigger rigs with high clearance might be able to enter from that side. The bus wreck is a very good item to recognize you are there. Enjoy!

Ótimo lugar pra permite no estacionamento desse restaurante de frente pro mar, comidas e porções muito boas e preço justo, bastante variedade de peixes, também há peixes para venda.
ótimo atendimento, forneceu energia e água,as não precisamos.

Nice spot to spend a night. Some trafic on the main road but everything seams OK. We reach the spot without a 4x4 but it could be useful to have one when you leave the river (the exit is pretty steep)

As described standard CB.
Decently quiet for being right next to the highway.

We spend the night in a safe place with water and electricity for 10,000 Chilean pesos. Owner Orestes very friendly and helpful. Good option for trailers and motohomes in Punta Arenas.
Passamos a noite em um lugar seguro com água e eletricidade por 10.000 pesos chilenos. Proprietário Orestes muito simpático e prestativo. Boa opção para trailers e motohomes em Punta Arenas.

We did this hike in reverse! Parked in Quilotoa on the main parking lot and did the long way around the crater before descending. We highly recommend Cloud Forest for your night in Chugchilan. If you make it to Sigchos at noon on the last dag you can catch the bus back to Quilotoa (+-1.5hrs).

We hiked it with our dog btw. Cloud forest and Llullu Llama are pet friendly!

We ate a Nice sandwish here. worth the stop.

Filled our water tank. Fast, friendly and cheap (3 Garafones MEX$ 45 including service).

Friendly, fair, efficient. English spoken. Highly recommended.

Good for a stopover, as everyone else we spoke to security (great guy) said no problem and took my name, vehicle and plate info. No problems.

A new fuel station with Euro 5 Diesel and also Adblue available. paying with credit card works as well but care they ad a "service fee" to the amount if you don't denie.

Had to replace a ball joint, was really helpful and asked half of the price the 4x4 garage on the Mainroad asked.

we found the pizza ok, but not great, and quite expensive. we also had a tomato, mozzarella and pesto salad, but couldn't finish the cheese witch had no taste.
Plus they don't have wifi

Sem dúvidas o melhor camping que ficamos no litoral da Bahia. A limpeza é impecável!! Muito organizado, tudo funciona, lugar agradável, arborizado e silencioso.
1 km do Quadrado (uns 20 min andando com calma) e mais uns 500 m até a praia.
Nos arredores do camping há todo tipo de comércio como padarias, farmácia, restaurantes, açaí, sorvetes, etc.
A prop Emili foi muito gentil e receptiva. Voltaríamos com certeza!!
Valor cobrado março/23: 40 reais por pessoa (luz a parte, como não utilizamos não sei dizer o preço).

The best camping we stayed on the coast of Bahia. Very clean and organized, everything works well, beautiful place, wooded and silent.
1 km from the Quadrado (about 20 minutes on foot) and another 500 m to the beach.
There are bakeries, pharmacy, restaurants, açaí, ice cream an all you need around the camping.
Emili was always very kind. We would definitely come back!

Camping Taiua
what a great and beautiful, clean place! We have been asking at many different places in town and ended up here. It's so clean, great atomphere and super kind people. We parked our Van in the Back of the building at theire parking lot and access to theire area directly from there.

Very easy crossing Chile -> Argentina. No one checked our van and no wait!
