Here you can buy gas, tourist prices though ( 9BS). We were told this is the last gas station before the Ollague border into Chile. A few feet from the town mercado. The only gas station between Uyuni and Calama. So be sure to stop here or have some spare fuel.

At the border it is also possible to buy some gas from a private person. But wouldn’t count on this. The guy is very friendly. Toilets are a no-go.

No problems here filling up with a foreign vehicle. If you have the energy there is room to negotiate the price. We didn’t have the energy to negotiate and still managed to only pay 5.7bol per liter. The foreign price is currently 8.68bol.

After a little bit of prompting (started at tourist price of 8.6/L), we were able to buy 75L here for 6 BOL per/L, as long as we didn’t want a receipt. Able to fill our tank directly plus a jerry can. Very nice guy.

Friendly attendant and locals. Purchased about 60-70 litres of petrol no issues. 7BOL per litre into vehicles and cans.

Report Check-In

Stopped here because fellow drivers needed some gas.

The place only accepts Bolivian pesos and American dollars. Cash only. $1/1,10L cash return is pesos of course.

Toilet available, but I would only go if you really need to.

10 liters for 5 bol after some negotiating. Guy tried to change the price on me after he filled the Jerry but eventually agreed to the original price.

Report Check-In

Pulled up to top off our tank heading south, asked if we could pay 'sin factura' which means 3.74 everywhere else. Put 10 L in and he wanted 88 Bol, told him he should have specified that before, as I thought I would be paying 3.74. Because it was such a small amount I gave him 60 Bol, but told him he should specify beforehand. Bolivians........

Report Check-In

wanted to charge us tourist price, was ok with it since we only were going to top up (approx 10 liters) when he gave me a fractura for the local price though I told him I wanted a fractura for the tourist price.. he ended up charging us the local price as his machine was not working properly.. or he was too lazy to make the effort.

Report Check-In

He looked around and decided to not sell to us anything. So we hired a taxi for 20bol at Uyuni to refill our jerrycans.

Report Check-In

7B with zero negotiation, he was happy to hurry and top off our tanks as we wanted to head into the Laguna Route completely full.

Report Check-In

There was gas available when we drove through on the beginning of the lagunas route. Paid 7/bb sin factura. Definitely seemed like a well established station, but still safer to fill in Uyuni and top off here.

You can spot it from the main road as the orange colored station, in the last part of town if you're headed southbound.
