Check-Ins

Got 700 soles out of this machine without charge

Place is now called "todo riesgo". Prices have not changed, still paid Q.305 for a month. Super easy, friendly and quick.

full laundry service. 280 pesos per 4kg
good fast service.

Very nice guy. Found out what our problem was couldn't repair it right away but didn't charge anything

Its not the most beautiful place on earth and its close to highway, but who knows Belgium also knows that to find privacy away from others eyes is hard. Woods and privacy thats exaxtly what you can expect from this place. If you drive deep on the grvel/muddy route you can turn behind the small forrest and you are hidden for good. When rainy maybe the route is muddy, but I didnt have any issues even after three days rain. I came in the evening and stayed till 9am with no issues at all. Maybe only the noise from highway is bad, but for one night more than good if you like to be in green and not to stay in concrete parking lot elswhere in centre if towns.

Friendly staff. The job is usually done within 24 hours (if you ask nicely, maby earlier). In our case 13 kg for 50 soles. They don't wash underwear and socks, but we made a sad face and they said"Ok".

large camp ground in gravel with few shadows. Price is 35R$/pers motorhome inclued. showers and banos are clean. People friendly. not on the beach (800m) but seems more quiet. And prices of other campings near the beach are double !! Crazy !

2WD friendly
Pit Toilets (clean)
FREE
Spotty cell service

Mega clean beach where the locals really show initiative in picking up their trash.

We felt very safe and stayed 2 nights.
There’s not much to the town you’re next to and it’s more desolate than we had thought it would be, but a great place to stay nonetheless!

•pick up your trash•
•the flies are nonexistent if you don’t eat outside•

What a joke! Got pulled over and then a guy with an "eco-tourism" shirt came over asking for 50 pesos. Bunch of rent-a-cops checked my passport and asked questions like where did I enter argentina etc.. Just said we were going to Brasil then a whole lot of "no entiendo". Eventually they got angry and let us through.

We were stopped here and the policeman looked through all our papers (insurance, TIP, license). He even looked at my husbands license and saw he needs glasses and wanted to make sure he was wearing his prescription glasses.
We, unfortunately, did not have our lights on. Didn’t know it was a law but will keep them on from now on.
They made my husband go inside and said they’d require a fee of 1500 pesos now or we could go with them and leave our car to pay at a bank. My husband came out to talk to me and I said take our son back inside and tell them your wife and daughter will wait while you go to the bank and pay. The police officer then told my husband he called his boss and he said it was okay to let us go with a warning.
It was clear from the beginning they were looking for a bribe.

Tous le personnel est charmant. Le site est situé à 20 minutes à pied de la Mitad del mundo. Nous recommandons !

Not sure what the previous post means with not worth the 22‘000 pesos a day but this is one of the best maintained bikeparks I‘ve ever been! There are 2 trails outside the bikepark(garganta del diabolo & valle hermosa) which are a must! Few spots around the stay for a night! One of our favorite places of the whole trip!

Petit jardin plat sans ombre. Le site est en hauteur, vue sur la ville. Électricité, toilettes pas propres, douche, wifi. Chiens acceptés. Les hôtes sont très sympathiques. Beaucoup de moustiques. 5$pppn.

Douches chaudes, toilettes, électricité, wifi, cuisine et salle communes. Chiens acceptés. Calme de jour comme de nuit. 5$ PAR VÉHICULE incluant les machines à laver, qui dit mieux !
De plus, les propriétaires sont géniaux. Nous avons passé beaucoup de temps avec eux. Nous avons assisté aux cours de patinage de leur fille, avons visité l’école de leur fille, avons mangé tous ensemble au restaurant, avons eu droit à une petite visite de la pyramide Incas a côté d’Ibarra, sommes partis faire une bonne ballade du côté du volcan en pick-up. Graham et Amalia sont hospitaliers et disponibles. Nous avons adoré passer ces moments avec eux. Les desserts d’Amalia nous manquent déjà.
C’est un endroit reposant. Cette excellente expérience est tombée au bon moment, car nous étions partis précipitamment de la Finca Sommerwind (c’est l’autre spot IOverlander sur Ibarra) après que notre chienne fut attaquée par un des chiens du propriétaire. Les 3 points de suture de notre chienne et l’énorme stress généré par cet événement nous avait mis un coup au moral. Mais c’était sans compter la douceur et la générosité d’Amalia. Nous n’oublierons jamais ces moments-là

We were here in march and it was deserted. It did feel safe but we didn't leave the van for long. The toilets are ok and do flush. It's ok for a night.

sandy beach by an abandoned lighthouse with no one around. you'll need 4x4 and to air the tires down to get on the beach, but you can likely get to the lighthouse with only one of these 2. there are 2 palapas, no facilities, just white sand beautiful beach south and a gated fenced community around the bend North. A fish camp 1000m down the beach that we were told you can sometimes buy some fresh fish.

exactly as described. beautiful place to start our morning with a beach walk. the pup found something dead to roll in but dogs will be dogs.

Mix use campground: 3 RV/Camper Sites, 10 Primitive, 6 Platform Tents
Full service store with hi quality outdoor gear, full food service, hiking information, snacks, drinks, souvenir t shirts, hats, free stickers and more

For us it was even cheaper. 1800 pesos for 20l when we refilled our water bottles.

Very basic Hostel
Cold Shower, Room basic but clean.
25 Soles. 20 after negotiating.
Cochera for 2 or 3 Cars.
Hight limitet by door.
Good for a Night. Better than Camping in a Sugarcane field!

Small lot, uneven and uphill in spots but manageable, Close to highway so you do get traffic noise
Wendy’s, Whattaburger ,gas station in front

Everything are ok, it’s a little paradise . Nathan the owner is very very friendly. We stayed 2 nights. Overlandermen and women you must come here. The landscape is nicely and the small city only at 20´walking. Laïla Lucien

As described earlier, nice place for 35$ a night. The price have gotten a bit pricey i think. It’s with hot shower and secure parking. It’s a very nice city with lots of restaurants and hotels. Very quiet and a good place to rest for a couple of days.

Reallllly good burgers. Had the point break with avocado. A little pricey, but they are truly gourmet.

great camping. 5000pp + 3000 for the campervan. The owner is really nice and helped us refill our 80L water tank.

Located on Calle José Gálvez. Great, safe part of the city. Street parking directly in front of the hostel (10 ft from reception window) with use of the hostel facilities, 15 soles per person. Dorm beds 30 soles per person. Super friendly and welcoming owners/staff of this new hostel (1 week old at time of post and they’re still working on last minute finishes). Restaurant, bar, good wifi, kitchen and laundry for use (laundry is extra). 2 cats. They’re working on a backyard BBQ area and seating lounge.

We slept in our camper here 4 nights. We had zero issues and felt completely safe. We even forgot to lock up all day once. Neighbourhood security vehicles pass through here regularly.

Up to two rigs can fit in front of the hostel.
The street is not very wide, and tourist busses pass through here on occasion. Park close as possible to the sidewalk. Extra wide rigs might have a challenge parking here and still enabling busses to pass.
