We sleeped 2 nights here, and it's OK, but you can part at YPF too... doesn't have any restaurant anymore, now it's a store that's not open at night, so you can stay 😉

We and other overlanders where kindly asked to leave the place by the people from the restaurant, due to it’s a “propiedad privada”. Twice at different nights. The YPF guys next door where happy to let us stay for two nights.

We arrived late from Humahuaca, on the way there aren‘t good overnight spots. This one is perfect for a night. Warm showers (30.- for 10mins) and a good shop at YPF. Restaurant was closed, so no internet.

A good place to stay for the night. Still no WIFI. The restaurant was closed and nobody knew the wifi key. YPF still no wifi. We filled up here with diesel and water before going to the Paso Jama.

Behind the tourist office at RN9 is a paved parking area that is bit aside of the YPF petrol station. There is not to much light around - good for a quite sleep. And it was not noisy.
Brandnew toilets (with the usual insufficiencies) at the tourist office are open from 8am until 8pm. For the night you could go to the YPF station close by. For showers you can also go to YPF station (see separate entry in iOverlander).
There is no WiFi from the tourist office (only the camera WiFi) but there is a restaurant next door with WiFi where you could ask for the password.
YPF has NO WiFi in their shop (yet).
