Something not right?
Description
Just a little earlier down the road from the other posted spot on iOverlander for camping in your rig. A mostly sloped lot, but we stayed at the top of the lot in a flat spot for several days. Great views. A little quieter because it’s not right across from the cafe down the road. The owner of the lot is an older woman, grandmother to the young guy who manages the day to day, Jon. He’s an architect trained and worked in Bogota. Came home to run the lot during Covid. He was so generous, and when we said we were going to try and grab a taxi into Guadalupe he volunteered to drive us and show us around, with no pressure. We paid him a small fee for the ride. He brought his little sister along too. He also drove us to show us a couple other places. We paid him 10,000cop a night. Well worth it if you can grab that flat spot at the top of the lot. It’s also a less steep entrance to his lot vs the one down the street. We walked from his place down to the swimming holes in the river.

Latest Check-Ins
John is the friendly guy here. There is one flat spot and a lot of space uneven. There is a new bathroom, with cold shower. During the day the water gets hot. Close to the entrance to Las Gachas. They sell some drinks and snacks. Safe and silent to sleep.

John é o encarregado desse lugar. Tem um espaço plano e o resto do terreno é inclinado. Tem banheiros novos com ducha fría, que durante o dia fica quente por conta do sol. Ele vende bebidas e snacks. Lugar tranquilo e silencioso, bom para dormir.
Place de parking au bord d’une terrasse de tienda chez Jon, un jeune homme très sympa il nous a demandé 10.000COP pour la nuit mais étant en sécheresse il n’y a pas d’eau ni toilettes utilisables. Le grand terrain est en gravier et en herbe, la vue est très belle sur les montagnes ensoleillées. Malheureusement pour nous les Gachas sont fermés pour sécheresse mais Jon va demander l’autorisation de nous y conduire pour les observer sans s’approcher.
Report Check-InNice guy, but I don't understand the previous reviews. It's impossible to find a level spot. Everywhere you stand wrong. Sanitary is more than basic, shower without a door. We didn't use anything. But a quiet and safe place.
Report Check-InAs described. Road to the lot is rough, but doable with any vehicle. They wanted 20k per night, we settled on 25k. Lots of firecrackers and bottle rockets on a random Wed night, past midnight. We stayed one night and moved to the trailhead for free.
Report Check-InAs mentioned, mostly sloped, but go all the way to the top. Sells some chips and whatnot. Decent washrooms and cold showers, open all night. Good option in the area! 15k per vehicle for overnight, 5k just day parking.
Report Check-InGreat spot. Wifi, bathrooms, shower, flat ground, very quiet at night. Short hike to las gachas.
