Description
We asked if we could stay in the parking lot after visiting the archeological site and they said that it was no problem at all.
The parking lot is at the entrance of the canyon and there is a lot of level space and great views in all directions. Awesome sunset! The bathroom and museum buildings are closed at night. Water down in the canyon and probably there is also some hose but we didn't need it. Totally recommend the 3 km paved detour from route 40 to explore the canyon and the Huelco culture!
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Very interesting huge outdoor museum with a great guide (Juan). Juan only speaks Spanish but a lot of the signs have English audio explanations.
We highly recommend for people that are interested in the local indigenous history and culture.
Price is 2500p.p. which we thought was very fair .
Beautiful, quiet spot, but unfortunately we were told by the guide that overnight camping is not allowed here. He even called director of the archeological site who also confirmed that camping is not allowed (anymore?)
Report Check-Init is now forbidden to sleep there, 2500 pesos per foreign person for the walk plus museum. very expensive kiosko (a tortilla that we bought for 1000 pesos 3 days ago is on sale for 3000 pesos here.
il est désormais interdit d'y dormir, 2500 pesos par personne étrangère pour la balade plus musée. kiosko très cher ( une tortilla que nous avons acheté 1000 pesos il y a 3 jours est en vente à 3000 pesos ici.
ahora está prohibido dormir allí, 2500 pesos por persona extranjera para el paseo más museo. kiosko muy caro (una tortilla que compramos hace 3 días en 1000 pesos está en oferta aquí en 3000 pesos).
Report Check-InGreat place to stay with WiFi and great swimming. the little restaurant has empanadas. The canyon is very beautiful, we had it to ourselves in the morning but after 1pm got packed.
Report Check-InGreat place. We had nice finger foods from the restaurant in front of the museum. Open from midday until 9.00pm.
Report Check-InPerfect soot for a night or more ! Free, fast open wifi and toilet during the day. The canyon is beautiful
Report Check-InSo beautiful, peaceful and safe. Fast free open wifi, perfect for swimming and sitting by the creek in pachamama. Recommend!
Report Check-InA parking lot you can use for free. the night was very calm and the waterholes are nice to spend a relaxed day. I was all alone there but it’s the pandemic and it looks like they are preparing for many tourists here. Construction for a little restaurant is ongoing. Locals are friendly and with distance. Visiting the archeological parc was not possible due to the pandemic.
Report Check-InVery nice but very hot when we visited. No shade in the parking area. The river looked good but was in flash flood mode, so take this into consideration when visiting as NY desert river in the summer so you don't get caught in a flood!
Report Check-InEnded up staying 3 nights at the dirt lot (not the paved lot before it) with a little playground climbing thing for our daughter, toilets open occasionally in the day if anyone shows up to open them lol, and beautiful hiking/swimming up the river canyon for hours. No charge - we chatted to the 2 ladies who work at the ruins and they were friendly and welcoming. (There is a shower in the ladies toilet, during the rare times that the toilets were open)
Report Check-InWe arrived at about 5 pm, too late to do the guided tour as the guide leaves at 4pm. But the women looking after the place allowed us explori g the site on our own, use the bathroom and camp at night, everything for free. Awesome location to camp! Great view into the red gorge with lovely pools to swim. Highly recommended!
Report Check-InThey are building a new road connecting the Hulaco site with the camping, therefore we were not able to access the parking lot but were allowed to stay at the paved space right before the entrance. The canyon is very beautiful and they are so proud to show the museum of the hualco history!
Report Check-InWe asked if we could stay in the parking lot after visiting the archeological site and they said that it was no problem at all.
The parking lot is at the entrance of the canion and there is a lot of levelled space and great view in all directions. Awesome sunset! The bathroom and museum buildings are closed at night. Water down in the canion and probably there is also some hose but we didn't need it. Totally recommend the 3 km paved detour from route 40 to explore the canion and the Huelco culture!
