Check-Ins

Armin, Serge, Kofi, and the rest of the mechanics at Garage Weikl got our Land Rover in right away without a booking on New Years Eve for an oil change, and fixed a vexing electrical problem that had been bothering us for a week.

We learned that Armin is 79, and has been in Rwanda for over 49 years. He seems moving a little slower these days, so a lot of the work is done by his capable assistants.

Good work done at a fair price. Check out the old Sahara-style Mercedes overland truck rotting away in a corner of the yard. I’m sure it has lots of stories to tell.

Spot for coffee and a quick snack. Excellent and inexpensive gift shops on both sides of the cafe with some beautiful handmade crafts. Worth the stop and a good place to pick up small souvenirs, jewelry, baskets.

Nul !!!! Je me suis crue à nouveau en Bolivie : le linge sent bon mais est très mal lavé. Toutes les tâches sont tjs présentes et il manquait du linge. Allez si possible ailleurs

The best refugio around! Sandra and Nacho are the most delightful hosts you'll meet, who go to a lot of trouble and work to ensure the place is full of good vibes - and it works! Bring your best energy with you and you'll have a great time!

slept here two nights. well lit and really quiet. we are in short but

Good restaurant on the road.
Delicious burrito for 5qzt
They offer coconut for the traveller, maybe because i'm a cyclist but they gave me 3 for free.
Nice people

very clean, spacious hostel in Houston. not many options in town. $34 per night with breakfast, parking at the back and very close to supermarkets and shops. not much to see here but the cheapest place in town. $3 per day for the HI card or $18 for the annual pass.

as of 31st December 2018, a lot of these roads have been recently graded and are in great condition . I was able to travel 80kmh + over the majority of the dirt roads between sumbawanga and nyakanazi

Well the road from Tlachichuca is definitely a challenge. It’s pretty technical, and you will need all the goodies your car can supply. But it’s more than amazing to drive up here... and reach here. If u love mountains go for it! Be aware of altitude sickness.

I can recommend this place! Best mechanic so far. Worku knows about cars, is super friendly and helpful. His guys do very good work.

500m dirt access road. Small parking area for just a few cars, relatively leveled, just 10 meters from the entrance to cenote.

We did stay 2 nights. Some visitors came during the day. It was completely quiet after dark.

* 2 bars on Telcel
* No services

Water gets cloudy with increased number of visitors (particles from the walls and ledges) , but it is very clean if you get there early.

Very nice and deep cenote (118m).
See attached photos for more details.

Delicious craft beers (Roja coca) is excellent and tasty
The beef steak for 30s/ is great too
A bit pricey but it was New Year eve

Great huge place 40 s/ for double bed room with shared bathroom. Fantastic gas powered hot shower. Great view from the balcony. Kitchen (prepare yourself to be patient with the stove), and place to eat. Parking lot for 2 cars. Bicycles and motorcycles welcome!
Friendly staff - they listen classical music and it was relaxing

You can camp here for 10$ (2p, 1 car). It’s a lodge owned by Italians. There is not a real campground but you can choose a spot anywhere (although not many level). You can use the very nice European guest toilets and the shower of the drivers accommodation (good cold functional shower). Food is expensive. We did enjoy our 4 course dinner on New Year’s Eve for 80000ush pp. Other meals we cooked ourselves.

nice open field. no one bothered us. below freezing at night.

Parking Lot close to the entrance gate to perito moreno. Windy. Quiet during night.

Good place to learn and do windsurf. Very friendly people. Beginner class 1050ARS for 1 hour and all equipment. We were only two people, so very fast progress:-) There is also the possibility to rent kayak.

2000 dollars guyanenses or 10 USD for night (2 people + van). Doesn't have wifi (without MB).

Super endroit. Les gens sont très gentils, très intéressés par notre façon de vivre. On a beaucoup partagé sans se sentir en insécurité! Le village accessible à pied par une côte assez abrupte, on y trouve tout ce dont on a besoin, il y a plein de tienda, panaderia et le marché central. Une lavanderia aussi en face du marché central. De l'eau potable a coté des toilettes sur la grande plage. Toilettes ouvertes même la nuit. Parfait !

This place is a must in Baños Morales. Is 10 minutes waking outside the town and apparently a really famous place for camping among Chileans. Just follow the road (not the one that goes to Baños de Colina, but one that goes from the town to the east -it’s not pavemented-), great place for free and you have almost everything you need in the town.

- One of the Entrance of parque national Campana
- 4000clp
- 2 km of very bad road
- wild camping forbiden
actuellement camping complètement interdit dans le parc, même dans les campgrounds payants

as previously posted, nice and friendly.
looks as if it had better times, but all worked (Internet at reception, hot water shower).
kitchen not really clean, but okay.
very close to beautiful center and beach.

Great palapa near the beach, pit toilets. $5 or $90 pesos to camp. Hardly anyone here now, have place mostly to ourselves. Have seen several whales spouting. Peaceful & little wind while we are here. Happy New Year!

The hotel is located about 1 km away from Chorlim Gate just outside the park. It’s a beautiful place with a garden, restaurant and bar. Firewood can be organized. There is a small village next to it where you can buy some basic food.
They have rooms (75$ double) and allow camping in the garden (1000 KSh p.p.).
They gave us a key for a room to use the facilities there. Is was not really clean and the cold shower was not working properly.
Good for one night before or after going to the park though.

This is a great Suzuki shop! I did not have any service done but they have DR650 parts in stock. The guy at the parts counter speaks a little English and was very helpful.

Got our Liberian visa here on the same day. The cost was 100-125 USD depending on nationality. No express fee needdd to be paid by our group. We only had to fill in a form and provide passport photos.

wonderful spot over the beach. fires pit to warm a little, even if it was hot enough (15°C approx). A local came on motorbike to chat with us and try to seel camel milk, but not annoying and really friendly. beach accessible in 2 minutes and water warm enough to bath on 1 January !

See other descriptions.
klean and hot shower/bathroom.
Yes, expensive but everything in the park is expensive.
22000 2 pax + travelcar.

Large Quarry with large flat sandy bottom good for a stop over on way to or from Vilanculos. Village playing music faintly in distance but otherwise no other sign of activity. Few cars passing. High Quarry sides give evening and morning shade. Nice spot.

Very basic campground but pleasant. Nice bathrooms with clean showers. Low water pressure but adequate. And it's free for now. The park has a variety of hiking trails, some of the longer ones require a reservation because they are guided. The park rangers are helpful and pleasant to deal with.
