Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Nice spot to camp on the shore of Rio Talpuyeque in the Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra Manantlan. We drove all the way to the end of the road past the pueblo of Cuzalapa and this is the only boondocking spot we could find, which is surprising for such a large biosphere reserve. Access from the road is very short but very steep and rough and requires high clearance 4x4 and good off-road skills. The river was rehabilitated as part of a government initiative but was nevertheless quite trashy, we did a good cleanup but no doubt it won't stay that way for long, unfortunately. Little traffic from the road above, and gentle river sound will put you to sleep quickly. Note: no information about water quality for bathing.
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.

sadly very trashed again but nice place to sleep. In the moment road down is steep but in good condition, every car should be able to drive down and up. wouldn't drive here with a big rig cause it's hard to level, low hanging branches on the way down and hard to turn around. nearly no traffic at night, nice birding and refreshing dip in the river.
