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.
You can drive up to this view point and spend overnight for free. Nice view and quiet place. The road is a bit rough but not bad. There is a small shop there where you can drink coffee and beer. It was no problem for the owner’s shop to sleep at this place.
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.
Latest Check-Ins
The viewpoint is no more accessible with a 4wd, the road is washed 500m before to arrive. No problem to pass with a bike or a motorbike. FYI just before the washed road it is possible to park and sleep on the edge of the track.
Report Check-InI slept in front of one of the houses and the owner helped me to attach my tarp to house's roof for better protection for my tent. I bought some drinks, water and cookies and all was overpriced (f.e.: for the bottle of 0,5 l of water she charged me 1.5$).
Report Check-InAmazing spot. All alone in the clouds. When the view clears it's awesome. No wind for us either. No need for high clearance (my friends made it with 20 cm clearance under their car). The last couple of hairpins at the top are very sandy though. 4x4 is preferable but probably not necessary if you go carefully in low gear.
Report Check-InSame as other comments, need 4x4 to get there but amazing view. 45min/1 hour drive once you get off road
Report Check-InAs described. Great view and windy. No facilities. Low range and 4x4 required. Worth it for sure...
Arrived 5:30 PM and there was nobody here. Nobody came by at night either...
Beautiful spot next to the lagoon. The family selling in the business owns the ground, so we ask permission to sleep. She was very friendly. We believe that is good buy a hot water to contribute to the local economy.
you need 4x4 for the last 3,6 km to get there.The other day rained and the road was very poor condition. High clearance and 4x4 are required.
Hermoso spot al lado de la laguna. La familia que vende en el negocio es dueña de ese terreno, así que le pedimos permiso para dormir. Ella fue muy amistosa. Creemos que es bueno comprar un agua caliente para aportar a la economía local.
Los últimos 3,6 km de camino para llegar se necesita 4X4. Al otro día llovió y el camino estaba en muy malas condiciones. Auto altos y 4x4 son necesarios.
Report Check-InFantastic spot!
Very quiet, incredible view on the lake and the valley. Nobody in the shop, we saw only few trekkers.
Super windy at night, we could'nt stay outside the car
Careful: 4x4 needed at the end of the 11km dirt access road where you have to manage with very sharp and sandy hairpins.
You can drive up to this view point and spend overnight for free. Nice view and quiet place. Windy and better with high clearance vehicle to go up, the road is a bit rough but not bad. There is a small shop there where you can drink coffee and beer. It was no problem for the owner’s shop to sleep at this place.
