Check-Ins

Thé location is close to the theatre Sucre. This old colonial hotel was renovated but keep this old fashion room and furniture. The big advantage for me is that he has a close garage accessible directly from the interior of the hotel. At the reception the guy who receveur me is a fan of motorcycle. I did not pay for the Garage. The night cost me 18 USD for a very colonial room

Nice camp, it’s tight for RTT (Toyota Hilux) and we luckily found a decent flat spot. Ext to the covered terraces. Only bucket showers but were given plenty of hot water. WiFi by the reception. We trekked the chimps from here so didn’t need to drive anywhere. It’s a great spot in the centre of the forest. We paid $15 pppn NB. The drive down to the camp is steep and in some disrepair. It would not be suitable for all overlanders including big rigs.

We stayed here for 2 nights after our evening game drives and left early morning to do morning game drives! Very convenient location for wildlife drives because you are in the are of highest wildlife density!!!
you are quick in the are where they usually spot lions and leopard! And there is also a shoebill track you should drive very early in the morning...just follow the lakeshore! In the evening there were jackal, drinking giraffes and buffalos and hippos in the water! Fabulous in the middle of the wildlife! But be careful because of the lions!!!
we pitched our tent after sunset!
The campsite is just a toilet and nothing else! We are not sure if we may be missed the real campsite or if this was the 40 $ campsite! For us it would be an argument if a ranger would have come. We would have said it is so basic we thought it is public camping 🙈To be honest, it is a joke offering just a toilet and charge 40$!
But taking the risk was worth it because the drive to the other campsite would be 30 km and was less nice!!! Here you have beautiful sunset when the sky is clear! Enjoy 😊

Coming from Cotahuasi Canyon via Charcana you need to go this way to Pausa. At least at the moment it is not possible to drive the AR 603 northbound to Oyolo. We asked a local and he confirmed that the gravel road via Corculla and San Jose de Ushua is good to drive. Actually road works are going on here and the whole road is being broadened - it seems the northern way of the AR 603 is no more maintained.

We drove the road from Cotahuasi to Charcana and the following gravel road from Charcana to the connection at the AR 603 without any problems. Although it's the season of rain both roads are well maintained and road works are going on. Seems as they are bituminizing the whole way. We totally agree...its one of the most scenic drives we ever did! We did it with our Iveco Daily 4x4...no 4x4 needed, but we had to use the reduction several times. Please note: the connection to Oyolo and Pausa seems no more possible northbound - you need to drive south and take the currently well maintained gravel road via Corculla to Oyolo and further to Pausa (we marked the entrance to this road on iOverlander)

Coming from the Cotahuasi Canyon on the way to Pausa it's hard to find a place to stay as the Camino is quite narrow. We were looking for an alternative to the plaza in Corculla which is not so great when you have a dog that wants to stretch his paws and run a bit after a day of bumpy gravel. Here we parked beside a currently not maintained soccer field and felt save at a quiet night.

little turn off from rt 52. Take the site road to the village patacal. along the dry river bed are some nice spots for the night. the people here are very nice. a great alternative to the loud and crowded Purmamarca. despite the big road is close, it is very quiet at night.

We used this as our exit from the Constellation loop. The loop was great with no shortage of wild camp spots.

This entrance is 5 km from town on a rocky road, in some ways it was worse than the Constellation track.

Great spot on the bank of a reservoir. Accessible by 2wd cars even if it is a bit sandy. Locals come here to fish, swim and wash their cars. When the night comes everybody goes back home. Some trees for shade in the morning.
Very peaceful and unexpectedly nice for a border zone.

Very good location, 5min walking to the beach and the center. Very good price too 25 real / pp, the cheaper place in buzios.
Gina is so Nice and helpfull. Ok for big truck but not so many space.

We stayed three nights here. Nando is friendly guy. He gave us a spot to park our small RV (20x10ft). You can us their Kitchen ( fridge etc.) & toilets, hang out in a hammock read or use their WiFi. It‘s a well looked after place. The toilets are clean. You can buy a gallon of drinking water for a dollar. The popoyo surf break is a 15min. walk down the beach. The beach is right in front.

Rooms with balcony in small houses for 90 B$ p/N in the main season. It has good showers, a fridge and two double beds. Also chairs and hammocks. Without AC but two fans. Also a community kitchen.

They stopped us and tried to make an infraction, as we speak spanish we argued that he wasn’t right. He left us leave.

Nos paro prepotentemente un policia que apareció de la nada. Nos pidió los papeles y el registro cosa que no se lo dimos, antes le preguntamos que habíamos hecho mal.

Nos dijo “aventajamiento en curva” lo más divertido fue que no había curva entonces ahí le dijimos que nos estaba chamuyando.

Se enojó un poco, nos insulto por ser argentinxs y nos dejó ir.

As mentioned, nice place room cleaned every day , fresh towels, made bed, toilet roll and breakfast and best showers in Peru!!
Great for parking or working on bike with huge garage! We had a matrimonial room 210 sol a night! Great location but expensive!

Hamza is a great guide, you can also tell him what I out want to see and do and he will personalise it for you. He also helped me with visas, fixing my phone and stocking up on things I couldn't find.

An excellent tailor with some ready made items in kitenge, materials and tailoring services. Bring your kitenge and get anything you want made. 20k for a dress, 10k for top. Very high quality and they make sure it is right for you. See the manager Gaston.

We LOVED this place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We parked directly at the beach, had Wifi, could use (very clean) shower and bathroom, and plugged in our van (you chan choose between 220V or 110V).

10’000 COP pP. Worth every penny.

Margarita is helpful in every way and makes incredibly good Pizzas! Try the one with seafood 🦞🍤

Totally recommended!!

Couldn’t find any place to refill our water tank. Tried here at the “lavado” and could refill our fix water tank (~250liters) for 2’000 COP.
Clean water with good pressure.

(they offer to wash your vehicle for 20’000COP)

Mechanic shop that specialises in repairs of brakes on all types of vehicles: cars, bikes, vans etc. Big garage with cafe inside. friendly, honest, and helpful staff, some speak English which was very helpful. Repaired our brake booster in a day, initially thought it was repaired but after driving a block we could still hear a noise so we returned it and they had another go, second time successful. did not charge for additional manual labor, and even drove us to an errand we needed to run that day whilst they were continuing the repairs.

We asked a guard to stay for a night, he checked with staff at shop who said it was fine. Staff are super friendly and kind, she showed us the bathroom with toilet, sink, and soap, and provided the wifi password. We parked at back of uno petrol station where we had access to electricity from under light pole and it was a bit away from the street and quiet. Although there is a guard, we noticed a person come around to try to open cars around us when the guard was elsewhere so we remained vigilant regardless.

As described below. Water from the taps is slightly salty. Electricity at the concrete table near the watertap. Only 1 toilet and shower, water was warm in the evening. No toiletpaper!
100 ND per person
Namibian border is asking for a booking at KTP but let you walk through to Mata Mata to get a booking. I got 1 at arrival.

nice 25m pool with a slide for kids and good views. Also a restaurant and wifi. 6000 Cop pp
was open at 9am on a Monday - no people at all!

agree with previous check-ins! The steak was really good! we went there twice! Ordered it raw-medium and it came like that (was disappointed in Argentina, overdid it most of the time...) They really know what to do! 33k now for the Steak. Service great too

Great spot, very quiet and some friendly dogs. Asked around where to stay and a friendly local recommended us to stay at the football field.

free wifi too, was good enough for some netflix'n chill ;-)
pools further down were great, entrance still 2usd pp, parking is free

holy smoke we missed that place due to only one check-in... we should have googled it ... it is that church with the bridge..

What a great little spot hustled between expensive hotels for 100p. Camping is right on the beach under the shade of trees. Very clean and basic, with cold showers, Bucket flushing toilets, fire cooking and no wifi or electricity! We loved it here!! Max was very friendly and helpful greeting you with a smile. Recommend camping here.

Dry camping area is a peaceful place. No T-Mobile here, but at the main building wifi is available.
Still $15 for camper van without hookups.

Nice Place, big rig up to 3,69 m is possible.
Payed 30.000 for the rig with two person

Nice campground for 210 pesos/pp. there is a table and place for bbq at each camping spot and electricity. Can use the kitchen for 120 pesos. We can let our bags for free to go to Alerces during several days. Nice common room too. Can be used even if we don’t pay for the kitchen. Bathrooms clean.
