buenísima persona Alexander, platicamos por horas, se puso a disposición si necesitaba algo, hay baños, ducha y te comparte el wifi.

Alexander is a great person, we talked for hours, he made himself available if I needed anything, there are bathrooms, a shower and he shares the wifi with you.

Alex is Very friendly and his family too. I like to welcome IOverlander’s. He gave us some water and wifi. Wc and shower is available. We slept in a flat place. Very quiet at night and safe.

La amabilidad de Alex recibiendonos, es increíble!! le encanta interactuar con viajeros, empaparse de diferentes culturas y sabe mucho sobre la cultura de su país. Muy recomendable hacer parada aquí y no esta demas hacerle una colaboración cargando combustible o dejando una propina antes de irse, aunque no lo pida.

Alex, the owner, is an amazing human being. If you speak Spanish (you should!) stop by and say hi. We could camp at the gas station for free and he gave us wifi as well. Buy some sma stuff at the store or get fuel and he is a happy man, but just seeing a foreign car coming to his spot makes him proud and happy!

Do not look forward for a hot shower as we did. the owner said: "we don't live here so we don't have any hot shower".

There are lot of gas stations in this region called grifo. This is not the one with hot showers. only toilette. the gas station a little bit further (towards puno, ca 500m) have hot showers. everything is at the right location. quite night, only noise was the train 2x. lady from the gas station wanted 10soles the morning after. we did not pay because she said we could stay if we get a full tank of diesel.

Very good place where you can spend the night on the way to Puno. They'll charge only for a "propina".
Good space and excelent bathrooms and shower.
Open 24/7. Very friendly people.
