Chile
Rest area/truck stop with bathrooms & free hot showers (massive solar heater). Helpful staff.
Ask them where a good place to park is. Sign says no camping, but we had no problem with our rooftop tent. Apparently great drinking water at this specific stop, recommended by some other Brazilian truckers!
We don't have any photos of this place yet.
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.
Good spot for a night. Clean bathrooms, hot shower and running water to do dishes. The usual trucks and a bit of traffic noise, but was okay to sleep and felt rather safe as there was a guard around.
Report Check-InUpdating check-in. still as good as described with free toilets and hot showers. Naturally some truck noise, but the amenities make up for it.
Report Check-InStayed here after we were unable to find the wildcamping spot we wanted. We were able to set up our rooftop tent in a corner of the lot behind the bathrooms (we asked and rooftop tents are fine- but no ground tents allowed). Both male and female bathrooms and showers- boiling hot and wonderful. The security staff were lovely. Predictably noisy for a truck rest stop right next to the highway, but brilliant for a one night stopover (and hot shower!)
Report Check-InTake advantage of all that money that you're spending on tolls, and stay here! Showers are solar, so very hot at end of day!! Bathrooms clean. If you have any problems, ask the security staff; they are very helpful. Water tap and sinks for washing dishes. Also, some Brazilian truckers that drive through here eight times a year said that the water at this specific rest stop had the quality of mineral water (but not at the other rest stops). So we filled all of our drinking bottles like they were doing. Quiet as your average truck stop.
Report Check-InFront of Copec. Rest area with bathrooms & warm showers (free).
For tent campers or biketouring people, there is a place beside the rest area (here is forbidden), commonly used for tenters. Take the next enter from the highway heading south
