Check-Ins

Really nice hike! Amazing Vulcano. Just pay the 35 dollars for a guide, don’t try to fool the locals by taking the by pass. It opens at 7:30. We starting hiking 7:30. Groups are formed a bit later during the morning, I would say 9:00/9:30 if you want to split the $35. Hike took us max 3 hours. We slept at casa Cristal and kept our dog in the van. DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED!

Great specialty coffee options for pourovers and bags to bring home. 10k-13k for a 300ml pourover. 25k-55k for a bag of 300g of medium roasted coffee.

Parked here from 10:30am-3:30pm while we took care of some errands in the city. 6m long vehicle, no problem. Any size vehicle can fit here. The nice older man charged us 8,000 cop. Super friendly and super cheap!

Decent showers for $3.00. Water temperature seemed to vary based on other people using showers, but with valve set to hot I got a warm to hot shower without scalding.
Women's showers were clean. Coin-op lockers for a quarter. Private changing rooms are separated from private showers.

This National Monument land. Sign says Travel restricted area. No off-road travel. Crossed the creek and drove up the hill a ways. There are no established disbursed camping spots, as far as I could see. The 3 sites below the road would do in a pinch, but I have time to look for better.

It says "no overnight camping"
but no one enforced it in late April of 2024. We were late coming out of Yellowstone. we are grateful we got to stay. it's beautiful and even ground at the parking lot across from the camping ground. good luck!

Este es un excelente puesto, tiene muchos baños, todos limpios, muchas duchas, mucho espacio para estacionar los motorhomes, nos sentimos muy seguros. Pasamos 2 noches, lavamos ropa, hay varias llaves de agua y enchufes (no se voltaje), porque no precisamos. Ademas tiene mesas de camping, lo recomendamos al 100%.

Big pull off on BLM land. Big flat space good for larger rigs. Road is steep and windy but wasn’t an issue in our ram promaster. This site has a great view of the valley below and is very quiet. Only one car has passed in the past 24hrs. There are other pull offs (see BLM red mountain spot) but this one was much larger, has sun, and space to deploy starlink.

Au fond du parking à droite.
Pression plutôt bonne, eau gratuite

Will do tall vans 10.5 friendly competent

Conecta em um dos chuveiros instalados. Entrada 1/2. Pressão de agua boa.

staying here for the night. there's other campers on site. minimal road noise

Very nice place. The owner is really kind. You can walk to the top of their campground for amazing views. 40.000COP for two with a van

lugar muito tranquilo, tem energia e água, não achamos a chave do banheiro, mas da pra abrir sem chave

Dump controls boarded over. No water from the taps.

Still closed for the season. Didn’t try the tap.

Este lugar es una maravilla, para descansar y alejarse de la ciudad. Es un pueblo muy hermoso, tranquilo, seguro y lo más importante para un viajero, tiene wifi gratis y agua. Nos quedamos 2 noches y encantados. Recomendamos este lugar 100%.

Great place! Unique opportunity to experience the Fakcha Llakta community from up close. The village is a lot of fun and the forest and waterfall are great too. I went there every day for a week. They still do a Temazcal every month, sometimes more. Recommended.

To access the campground you need to take another road to the back. I’ll put a new campground sign over there. I entered with a big old German firetruck without any problems (3,6m high, 8m long).

Honest feedback … Creepy place … I drove in & parked on a Monday 7:30pm; 6 various trucks and cars with people hanging around (no vans or RVs). Guy walked right up to my passenger window & would not leave. He just kept staring in after I politely told him I was just getting directions off my phone. I left immediately.

Unlike the comments below (maybe it’s because of the off season), it’s definitely not the prettiest, cleanest or best well maintained campground. But it has all the facilities you need and Adrian is super friendly and only charged us 2000 pesos for two person and a motorhome (not too many spots though and not suited for big rigs). Which is the cheapest of our 5 months of traveling through Chile and Argentina so far. Most campsites or hostels even charge you more for just a shower.

Day use is $10 per vehicle ($20 on weekends during summer) and is 6 or 7am until 9pm. It has a nice beach area with flush toliets, sinks, recycling, & trash. Huge parking spots as it's intended for boats. The Pacific Crest Trail goes right near as well, so beautiful hikes around the lake.

Coin showers in the camping area that are actually hot (takes a while to warm up). $2 to get started and 0.50 a minute. Picture is of shower area (smaller parking).

TA Truck Stop wanted $18 a single shower.. so this was actually cheaper. Plus legal dispersed camping is right off of FR 2N59

road still closed as of today - April 22

This is actually a rec site a couple of km up a gravel forest road, manageable but slow. Took one look at the site and turned around. It's basically just a muddy turn-around, at least it was when we went in April. With the other comments made about wildlife, I definitely wouldn't go here in a tent. Wouldn't recommend it for vehicles either unless in a pinch.

What a great place to overnight at. Amazing view over Popayán. Delicious menu. Great ambiance. Looks like José is developing it even more.
Also, there is super cute looking cabins to stay in too.
José was so accommodating.

Awesome 15km loop to see five archeological sites and a great museum.
Wellington boots would be ideal footwear to walk the loop, especially on or after a rainy day.
65,000 Cop for foreigners. Only accept cash/ no debit/ credit cards.
Super welcoming and friendly staff.
Unfortunately, we weren’t able to park in the car park overnight, but the hotel up the road kindly let us park there for the night.

Amazing spot to camp, worth the extra 3/4 of mile from the creek!

Great food! I had the shrimp tacos and my wife had the battered scallops. Dog friendly. Cash only.

Easy to find and use with a nice view of a lit up church at night. Not far off the highway.

I refilled my Chilean 5kg bottle for 5$. Easy and efficient!
