Check-Ins

Good mechanich especialized in land rovers. Does mechanich and body work. Also works as temporary storage. Very skilled and good price.

thé place is at 12$ and half price for seniors (up to 62) and annual pass (America Is beautiful for exemple) the machine Is only for 12$. so you if are 6 $ you stay 2 nights or wait for the ranger

The large parking near center (20.135955, -98.670528) is well for all sizes of vehicles. Monday - Friday for free, at the weekend 40P/24h for small vehicles and 80P/24h for big rigs.

vers good place, not modern, but clean, cheap and the boss is super helpfull.
it's possi le to park motocycles in a closed garden

Good water with pressure (too much ! ;))
Attention if you want to leave in direction of Jeddah, be careful the u turn for big rigs is 40 km further :( impossible to do it before !! Maybe if you go back as far as you can on the track in Jeddah direction it is feasible. We do not know. We lost 80 km

You still can not go down in the crater because no oxygen. The visitor center is definitely closed (police decision said the guy). Beautiful view however. Lot of wind.

Had a really cool experience, although things were not as neatly organised for me as others have described.

I phoned the usual number ahead of time and explained when I wanted to come, I was told no problem. I was told to come at 8:30 but no one showed up until 9. I was then taken to the rangers home where I paid the 500,000, but as I didn't have my own vehicle I was also asked to pay 48,000 for fuel for the moto (this is the real fuel price). Then after some more waiting I was taken by one of the rangers to the walk's starting point.

I was super lucky because we found them very easily - the father/son elephant duo have now been fitted with GPS collars. We spent an hour walking closely with them. The rangers give them exactly the space they need.

All in all a very good experience, just be a little patient at the start :)

Also I asked about going to see a nearby liana bridge but they asked for an extra 250,000 which I thought was too much. I've put details of a guy you can contact in Nzerekoré instead.

This place is amazing. The road is paved all the way down the valley except the last 200m to the property. The host was kind and she greeted me with a hug abd offered me a lovely coffee. I was lucky and had a great view of the mountains while I drank my coffee. The host told me that I could drive my moto an additional 10 kms to the place where trekkers start walking forever the Choquequirao trek. It was a beautiful drive for me and the views just got better. She cooked me a wonderful dinner (which was extra) and breakfast was included. The room was great and they have good wifi and hot showers. The entire hotel looks out to the mountains!!

Nice area with lots of campsites and level ground. The whole area can be windy. Bring your own water as BLM no longer provides it.

Water spigot on a telephone pole. Bathrooms and dumpster.

Spent 1 night in our van, very quiet, nice houses around, mexican restaurant nearby, the park is a bit dirty but has very good open wifi.

I travel by bike and wanted to avoid the touristic sailing companies to go to Colombia. From Panama City the road just after El Llena is new but very steep. you need to be patient concerning the boat to Caledonia (Panama). I ve waited two days at the port and sleep there for free in front of the ticket office. Restaurant and simple shop opened from 7am to 5pm. Very safe.
to go to Colombia you need to go first to Caledonia (3 hours) then Puerto Obaldia (1,5 hour) and finally Carpugana en Colombia (45 minutes). Ask around, people will help you. Total coast less than 200 dollars with bicycle included.

Quiet parking lot, a few other RVs in there.

Repsol service station. Diesel S/16.90 for 1 gallon. Very friendly staff, possibility to pay by card. There is a water tap, toilet, and what to do the tire pressure.

Station service Repsol. Diesel S/16,90 pour 1 gallon. Personnel très sympa, possibilité de payer par carte. Il y a un robinet d’eau, des toilettes, et de quoi faire la pression des pneus.

Nous nous sommes fait sortir par un vigile du quartier qui nous a dit que le stationnement de nuit était interdit sans autorisation. Nous ne sommes pas restés mais nous aurions du appeler la police car nous etions sur un domaine public.

Après avoir été viré du point Ioverlander 2 rues à côté , nous avons passé une nuit tranquille au bord de la plage.

4WD to go up the Hill and camp with incredible sunset/rise over the lake with cordillera skyline !!!
A must … with a quiet weather! Or camp near guanaco river as reported
A light car car drive up from the main ( bad )camino, but experience required

This checkpoint was very hard. They check car and so on. A lot of time spend here

Still closed for renovations. Planning to re-open end April 2024.......

nice helpful guy. Unfortunately we wanted to have just a Quick clean up of the tires, but next day when we came, he cleaned everything and inside as well what we didn't wanted and charged us a lot for this, ended up paying 2400 uy for it. not a nice move, so ask for prices before! But a good place to leave the car before shipping.

Arranged the trip with Al Macedo (WhatsApp +55 45 99105-9964), he speaks very good English and does all the communication with Genivaldo, the skipper of the boat (Laura Vicuña). Approached him approx. 2 weeks before the trip.
Al was very responsive to all our questions and updated us almost daily on the schedule.
We were told to be at the harbor Friday 5 pm and embarked at 5:30.
Trip was very smooth, got to Porto Jofre after 3 days Monday night just before midnight. Disembarked at 6 am in daylight.
Negotiated 3000 BRL for Sprinter w/ 2 ppl. 500 deposit by PayPal, the rest after arriving.
Starlink on board for 50 BRL

Beautiful camp along the Kunene River. Sarah gifs us a very warm welcome. After visiting many community camps in Namibia this is the first comminity camp where everything works!!!

Most expensive campground we have been in SouthAmerica! (€26 2 persons and a big rig, including a little breakfast). Nice place with beautiful view on the river, with swimmingpool and (very) hot thermal bath.

Exactly as described. We slept there on our way to Poland. Wonderfully quiet 👍

Cabaña with two bedrooms (2 and 3 beds), kitchen, fridge, bathroom with hot water and wifi.
We paid 30’000 pesos for two for one night (12.04.24)
Ask for disponibility at the shop « Autoservicio El Tallo »

We tried to go here April 12, 2024 - road isn't plowed in winter only tracks were snowmobile tracks, so our stock 4Runner wasn't going to do it.

Great spot at the edge of the firebase air strip. There were three tables in the area so locals use this spot. View of the river is amazing, but no access to the river as the banks are very steep and high. As this is close to town, we had cell coverage.

Beautiful & peaceful! We love stopping at the Pueblo KOA with our rig. The bathroom renovations are 100% done and 100% nice.
