Check-Ins

This check point seems to be abandoned. No one there on a Friday morning/noon.

I stayed here for the month of February and it was terrific. Good hosts, clean toilet, hot shower, good wifi and spectacular views and sunsets. And oh yea ... I absolutely loved the dogs. Don't let Karen change your mind.

Free internet at BC Liquor Stores. Open Wifi, no password needed.

an easy to find easy to get to private camping area with amazing views.

Nice place to stop for a few hours. Free during the Day. no overnight parking.. Beautiful view on the beach. Nice place to walk. Toilets on site.

Excellent place with complete structure for disposal, cleaning and water refilling.

Excelente local com estrutura completa para descarte, limpeza e recarga de água.

There is a water tap in the Walmart supermarket car park. There are several security guards, ask one of them before using it. We fill our tank without problems. They told us it is drinking water.

We left our clothes in the afternoon and it was ready for the next morning. The kilo is 1500 colones. Good service, very kind the girl who attends.

Gran parking de tierra, duchas y baño. No es un lugar lindo pero cumple para dormir.

nice location. the water has 40-50C so you have to pick a colder spot. lots of hidden locations and little alcoves. if was fairly crowded on a Friday but locals stay maybe 10 min and then move on to another alcove. the road down is okay. our truck camper had no issues whatsoever, the road is used by semis to haul potatoes. lots of dinky 2x4 parked next to us

Nice and hot shower. 500 pesos per person

On est venu à vélo et nous voulions nous renseigner si on pouvait camper. Peur être que depuis l’autre commentaire qui disait que non, ça avait changé.
Au final on a attendu des heures que le responsable vienne à nous en sachant qu’il était avisé et savait qu’on l’attendait .
Bref ne perdez pas votre temps si vous êtes à vélo .

Prices as of 3/2024:

Night in room per person: 50
Delicious dinner: 60
Breakfast: 40
Guided tour around/about the fort: 50

Rooms are clean, bucket shower from the fort’s cistern, toilets a bit „rough“. There is electricity (if there is in town) and the caretaker John will prepare you a delicious local dinner.
Bring your own drinks as he doesn’t store any and has to rush down to town to get you any. So come prepared.
Safe parking in the yard.
Way up to the fort is s bit rough with deep washouts at the steepest part, but no problem with motorbikes and normal car sizes. Vans should expect to get scratches and trucks are a no-go as the trees are too low and the way too narrow.

It’s a charity. How can one complain about higher prices without considering the cause behind it? If you stay here you should know that your money is to support children in need. Food is very good and absolutely worth the extra cents. It’s vegetarian and vegan.
Perfect place, safe parking for bicycles or 1-2 small (!) motorbikes in the closed yard.

The lady is still here, and she also makes some other food. I got some potatoes, and it's good to mix with boiled eggs from the opposite shop.
Just for information, there is a weak E internet signal.

This is the location for a series of waterholes at Sanitatas. The water is clear but probably meant for cattle. Drinkable after purification. Another drinkable source is at Okandjombo. Water at Orupembe is salty. There is also 4wd shortcut to the Khumib River trail.

Very nice, quiet place right on the river. Friendly, committed operators. Very safe spot and you can also swim in the river.

Down the dirt road off the highway, there’s a fork in the road with a good flat spot to park. Road is rutted but I made it easily in my short bus, just take it slow and don’t drive on this road when it’s wet out.

I think they specialise in BMW's really, but they're a great bunch of guys, honest and with an Immaculate workshop. Can't comment on the cost, as it's the first "proper" motorcycle workshop I've been to in Peru. But as a service, I'm happy with what I paid.

Beautiful spot just by the river. There is a big green area when several vehicles can park. Lovely and quiet place.

as described before. really
cold water. perfect.

Good price on Auto-propane, ease fill-up right beside regular pumps. Looks like only place near Nelson for full-up tanks.

County waste management and free dump station. No water. Follow all the way to the back. Dump in the grates then there is a clean up hose.

FYI this is soat for Peru, not Bolivia. For Bolivia you need to go to La Paz, there is nothing available in Copacabana

Really nice campsite with lots of individual sites, each with table and seats and a fireplace. We had no issues driving our van into the place (2.6m high). The toilets were pretty clean. Beautiful views of Lanin Volcano and perfect starting point for the hike to base camp.
Price is still 3k per person and 1.5k for vehicles.

Walked right into the bathroom because we saw no one at the desk. As long as we were there we didn’t see anyone nor did anyone stop us. Water is hot. Pressure is ok. Soap in the stalls. Lots of stalls with multiple hooks. Great free shower.

We camped at Camp 4 and used the showers attached to their bathroom house as well. Free. Private rooms. Water is hot, pressure is ok. Both of these showers are great options in Yosemite National Park.

great night, however many mosquitoes. good place for small camper or rooftop tent.

The guys repair my tire with patch, the job was very professional and he gave me some recommendations. I paid 8000ARS for the repairing
Very fast and professional job.

O posto fica próximo ao Aeroporto Internacional El Dorado. Conversamos com um funcionário e ele nos deixou abastecer a caixa d'água do Motorhome. Abastecemos a caixa d'água mais de uma vez e os funcionários foram bem atenciosos. A torneira tem uma ótima pressão.

The station is close to El Dorado International Airport. We spoke to an employee and he let us fill the Motorhome's water tank. We filled the water tank more than once and the staff were very attentive. The tap has great pressure.

I requested to know check my tire because I was not sure that the tire was repairable, he gave me the address of another “gomeria” to check.
After confirmation my tire was dead, I coming back to buy the new tire. He gave a good advice and not push me to buy more tire.
If you need to buy new tires, it is a good address.
