Check-Ins

Very safe, friendly, relaxing, and equipped camping zone. An oasis in my Peruvian trip so far.

We drove from Armenia to Ibague on a Saturday afternoon. It took us 3 hours. No construction work but lots of trucks. Roads are wide enough to pass. However, be careful over taking big trucks crossing the double yellow line, as the police might wait around the corner ready to give you a ticket.

we did this road on our motos and I wouldn't want to do it in a car/van. we passed a 6km stand still due to a head on collision. then at the little town of cajamarca was another line of a few km, I could see how this would take 6hrs. it took us 3hr to go from Ibague to Armenia and all we did was pass trucks the whole time. the area where this is marked on the map wasn't bad just the rest was. good luck if you are not on 2 wheels!

We can highly recommend this place, great atmosphere! Dario is a very nice guy. Camping is 100 pesos per person.

Sergey is a mechanic who loves overland trips (he has traveled by offroad car to Central Asia, China, Russia, Mongolia ...). He speaks a bad English but he is very patient, good worker, knows how to read the vehicle (we have an Iveco van, which is very rare in the country) and will do everything in his power so that you can continue your trip. We left the van with a friend who translated us and when he came back to the vehicle there was a client who spoke good English ... The worksoop is inside a large closed area, the door in street is at 43.268701, 76.93091. Go to the bottom of closed area and turn right. When we were there, Sergey had entrusted a poster that he will hang at the entrance to the street. Ask for Sergey or Andrey.

Très bon endroit face à la mer tranquille.

Modern and style churrascaria in the city.
There is buffet livre for R$39, it is with fresh bbq meats. Lots of types of meats.
Buffet is nice and rich - two kinds of rice, frites, vege, fruits, polenta’s frites, hot vege, salsas, sauces, beans, pumkins, some roasted meats and chicken and separed buffet with deserts.
Staff is professional and helpfull.
Open daily from 11 am.
They accept credit cards.

Nice narrow beach: not the cleanest neither the dirtiest: the currents take the seaweeds to the nearest beaches. Very shallow: perfect for kids and pets.
The proximity of the road can be a concern for some, but the traffic is very low.
For the users of TELCEL network, you can still get a signal on the beach.

Everything has been said about the place, ok for one night if you happen to get here late, free, baño locked, light and electricity

Gate closed and locked, two phone numbers to call for camping - no answer at both numbers, left messages but no one called back, left to „motorhome camping“ along river

Ferry no longer required. The road is open as of today, even though there's still construction going on and eventual short closures.

really nice and quiet place for a night. when we were there there was almost nobody so there were no Kiosks either. we arrived quite late and paid in the morning. the river looked nice for taking a swim. its about 16km from the Highway but Acayucan is close with gasstation and shops and supermarkets.

Great selection of Peruvian micro brews on tap with around 15 beers available. Not cheap at 18soles for a pint, burgers also available for around 30soles (didn't try them but they looked good). Open 12-12 Mon.-Sat. Located within a courtyard next to a small wood-fired pizza place with good pizza except for the ubiquitous plain Peruvian cheese.

Super nice place between red rock formation at the entrance to the canyon. The hike is awesome! Light is better in the morning. No 4x4 needed to drive up here.

What a beautiful place to stay. The entire family is so friendly and welcoming. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and they had a birthday party planned for the evening and Informed us the music will be loud till late. Earplugs did the job. They offered us to plug into electricity and They have two friendly male dogs. Our Ford F350 truck plus truck camper (3.6m hight, 7.46m long) Managed the road up to the property without any problems.

Really nice place! we stayed here for 3 nights because we were to late to arrenge our padron (before the weekend) for our Chilean car. next to the road but few cars pass by. The local carabineros passed by and were really friendly, like said before they only told us that we couldn't make fire. Lovely place with magnificent view!

Awesome free campsite, certainly not 'wild' but extremely well maintained in a lovely area. 10/10

** There was a super cute very light tan dog there, small, very friendly. Had a chihuahua looking face but bigger overall and a stubby / docked tail. He had a foot injury, which my wife (Physician) spent some time dealing with. Can someone please let us know if he is ok / still there. Cutest dog ever, and I believe a reservation dog. He loves to be picked up and cuddled. He needs a good home! Hint, hint. I am startng to really regret not at least taking him somewhere else, my reasoning was that someone else is very likely to take him on and we are really not set up to have a dog with us.

Other camp info:
This free RV and tent campground with paved roads is close to the visitor center, has 31 small sites with picnic tables, charcoal grills, and parking spaces. There are restrooms and running water available at the comfort station but no hookups or dump stations; RV's are limited to 28 feet or less. The campgrounds are available on a first-come-first-served basis. In the winter, campers should be prepared for cold temperatures and snow. The terrain is sandstone and surrounded by a pinyon pine and juniper forest. Open campfires are not allowed through out the whole park.

15$ a night campgrounds directly on colorado river. Loud motorboat noises but still nice.

Good and quiet place for a day and night. No problem with a 2wd (we were there with our 30 year old VW bus). Very windy the first day but it calmed down at night.

As described, no signs. High walls, tall gate and secured parking for our 6.5x2.2x3.5m rig. Comfortable and clean rooms with AC. We paid 35,000, but they started asking 50,000. The owner, Alfredo, eventually came by to say hello and was very friendly. We recommend.

Mostly primitive camping (two sites have power and water for an additional $10/day). Campsites are $25/day. Right on the ocean. Mostly tenting sites, only two longer sites that are suitable for RV, they are the ones with power and water. Showers are coin operated and we have been told they are quite hot.

Community of indigenous where you can tour their community. Nice artwork, Jewelry for sale. Let us try their blow darts. Offered to take us down the river in authentic conoe , but water was told swift for us that day. Cool metal swinging bridge to walk to community. Small area for Parking at the bridge.

Pretty spot if facing the view; otherwise dirty. We stopped so driver could take a nap before continuing on. Lady doing laundry and taking a bath in the river. Lots of people coming and going. Busy place in day time but everyone friendly.

nice cascadas with special rock forming, this is free, this is also a spot for rock climbing but for traditionnal, you can also do a little bit of top rope with the trees and big rock, this is a really nice spot for camping with tent or camper but we ask to two locals persons and they told us that they dont recommand us to sleep there but that it is better the other side of the canyon.

We think the owner posted the one original information. It sounded great. Our GPS took us on a very bad, rutted, pot holed dirt road which appeared to be the only way to access the camping spot. After 2 km, we decided it was not worth it to drive on that road any longer and turned around. Perhaps others would be fine with the road and would enjoy this place.

Clean Vault toilet and Verizon LTE service. Stayed two nights for free.

It is true that they do not allow „big“ cars on the Ponton Bridge. There have been Trucks with more or the same freight then we have (8,5t) but were smaller and were allowed to drive over the pontons. For big Cars there is a very funny Ferry. We were on the Ferry with a 40 t and 12 t Truck. The technique of the Ferry is interessting and very funny, a Little Adventure ;-)

When heading north (away from Cacequi) take the dirt track on the right just past the pin location. Dirt track doubles back for about 100m until it comes to a dead end - bit overgrown. Flat space for a couple of tents and a vehicle. No shade or shelter but invisible from the road. Quiet and dark overnight, we slept really well.
Not advised for big vehicles as not much turning space at the end. Would be muddy when wet.

Mr Alvaro, the owner, very friendly and attentive. Nice place, we took a bike ride on the waterfront, the noise of the highway does not bother us, we had two very pleasant nights. Internet good without limit, no problem. It has a suitable place for disposal of the waste tank.

Great place. Price is good skilled mechanics. A rare treat.
Had a leaking differencial. Dismantle and fixed within hours. Price is very good to
