Check-Ins

Loud Walmart. Dirty parking lot. I slightly prefer the one by I-10.

A much better option than the municipal camping, and for free! We parked in the back, which is much quieter and less crowded, and had a cold shower for ARS 200. We saved money on camping, and we were able to stay in a nice place...

Uma opção muito melhor que o camping municipal, e de graça! Estacionamos nos fundos, que é bem mais silencioso e menos movimentado, e tomamos ducha fria por 200 ARS. Economizamos o dinheiro do camping, e pudemos ficar em um bom lugar...

I neglected to say just go to the web site https://playalindahotel.com where you will see links to lots of photos, as well as Face book and Google link with more photos.

Camping and RV park in Chichicastenango close to the market just 15 minutes walking but in a very quiet and special area to camp and enjoy nature.

Going into Mendoza Province (heading north on Ruta 143), you will be checked for fruits, vegetables, etc. We showed the inspector our leftover lettuce and some green onions. We had very carefully made sure we consumed all potential problematic items before we got to this checkpoint. The inspector was satisfied and did not check inside our vehicle. You must also pay a fee (600 pesos) to drive through the fumigation spray.

This place was indeed very busy on a Saturday afternoon with mobs of children in the swimming pool. We did not like the fact that we would have had to park on the campsite road. We did not stay. 2000 pesos per person (and apparently that was a discount rate for seniors) and 2000 pesos for the van. It did not seem that this place was really set up for campers.

We stumbled into this place accidentally after deciding not to stay at Circule Policial. Camping El Parador is OK!! No problems. Lots of camping, mainly tents, on a Saturday. Many families. Amazingly, no noisy music even though the place was packed. The bathrooms are not the greatest or cleanest. Showers were promised to be hot at 0800 - however, there was no water for shower or toilet until 0900. We felt safe here. Wire mesh fencing all around the perimeter. Swimming pool. No wifi. 2900 pesos total for two and a camper truck. Seemed like a good deal to us.

Street parking on the right side of Progresso at the intersection with #1. Right in front of La Caza del Artisano. Lots of room but turning around will be a problem for big rigs.

Very nice place and with amazing view on the mountains. They alow us to stay in their backyard for free. They do not ask to eat at their restaurant but we did it anyway. Was very good and affordable. 3500kwz roasted chicken with homemade fresh fries. 500 kwz the beer. Was very good.
They let us use the bathroom in the employee house. Was very clean.
The owners are very nice. They speak only Portuguese.

We were able to spend the night in our truck in front of the hotel. Had dinner in their restaurant and security looked after us overnight. Perfect.

Take the small, rarely used but good track that starts at this location. First spot to camp appears after roughly 200 m but carry on to find many more nice spots, all level

we visited many mechanics around the world during our overland travels. Soroush is without doubt the most skilled, professional and reliable mechanic who has let hands on our vehicles. Bonus. He speaks good english. We came here twice with our Landrover Defender and had clutch and starter changed. Now after several months of traveling absolutely no " negative side effects" from the repairs. Soroush helped us arranging spedition of sparepart from Turkey. Worked very smooth.
Soroush has a garage that is perfect for overlanders that like to stay in their vehicles while work is ongoing. Actually the days we spent here were really nice. Good company, Soroush (and his farther), is not just a brilliant mehanic but also a wonderful person. Great conversation, great food enjoyed together. We had warm showers and did laundry.
Soroush and his farther build up cars from scratch and we guess they can work on any type of vehicle.
Repair prices are fair.

sin problemas para poner nafta! en general en esta zona no son mala onda con placas extranjeras. precio local y cargamos directo al tanque. atención muy buena

hotel aceptable para la zona donde se encuentra! quisimos acampar en el auto (carpa en techo) pero.no nos dejaron. 280 bolivianos para 4 personas y desayuno incluido. limpio y básico. buena opción!

Flat parking close to the sea. Good access (tarmac). There is a restaurant close and also a small black beach (Playa del Lastre). Also close to a small fishing port. Town is aprox 5km away. Very quiet. From here you can make some hiking as well. Good phone reception also for internet (4G)

Tres bel endroit, accesduble uniquement en voiture ou fourgons 4x4 . Malheureusement, des papiers toilettes partout.

It's a good place. We were charged 1000 each to go in by some young guys...they said the money was "for the community" so I hope that's true.
If you want to find things without a guide:
-The view of the whole falls is at the Lovers Nest restaurant which you can see on google maps.
-The cave is at -10.585511, 34.119706. To get there, go from Lovers Nest back to the village. Cross the small wooden bridge and continue down the track. Take the first track to the right. Cross the smaller river using the stones. Follow the path on the other side, then take the path that goes back to the right when you reach a junction. The track/path up to this junction is shown on Komoot.

1000 for entry. Kinda basic and ramshackle but it's cheap, the history is quite interesting and it contributes to the upkeep of the nice old building and its contents.

C'est une fin de chemin, un stationnement à la limite!!!, restaurants autour place pas intéressante.

une décharge publique a ciel ouvert,mais vous pouvez aller manger au resto chez Karla , tres bon et tres serviable , pour dormir , bonne chance il n y a que des stationnements bruyants et sales

rue finissant sur un stationnement sale devant les restaurants avec une odeur d eau stagnante,pas interessant

Not a bad hotel 95 mil for a matrimonial with bano for one person plenty of secure parking to the rear car size and Motos only, wifi is fast, showers were good with a small breakfast

Excellent restaurant in Cradock. Superb coffees, cakes, wide choice of lunches, family friendly, very clean, friendly staff.

Nice quiet spot down by the river. Great mountain view and out of sight from the road. Access down a gravel road off the main road.

Free campsite in small town. Max 72 hours, water, electra, dump all free!! Restaurants in town

Acampe libre, en la Plaza Jauretche.
Frente al Polideportivo.
Sitio tranquilo, para pasar la noche.

This is amazing... to find this after a long hot "desert drive" . must do...😉🤠

Only cash point in Uyuni that doesn’t charge to use! All others charge 55bob or only accept visa

beautiful point for camping good internet signal restaurant with typical food access only 4x4 very basic facilities ..very windy place and there are protections to avoid it

32.000 for two nights for two people and a truck camper. Should fit big rigs. There are also tent spots and cabañas. The bathrooms here are very clean. Hot water is at certain hours, but it’s a great hot shower as it’s powered by wood. The wifi works well. It’s also walking distance from restaurants and a small market.
