Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
A quiet spot next to one of the supposedly last myrtle tree forest in Ecuador.
The access road is cobblestone with little traffic.
A level spot in front of a closed building. A water tap is available at the building.
There is a short (20-30min) hiking trail through the pretty forest.
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.

Quiet place to spend the night. No one was here so we walked through the forest for free. The water tap did not work for us.
Report Check-InNice place to have a short walk. Quiet and safe to spend the night. Clean bathrooms. 15 min from Panamericana, paved road.

Report Check-InSe llega entrando por el pueblo de San Gabriel que hace parte del cantón de Montufar, la carretera no está pavimentada pero es apta para cualquier vehículo pues mantiene en buen estado, se conduce por aproximadamente 15 a 20 minutos hasta allí. Es gratis y Alicia, la persona que administra y proteje este pequeño bosque, es muy servicial, nos brindó los sanitarios, agua y comida, nos dejó estacionar allí y nos dió personalmente el tour guiado por el bosque, el lugar es tranquilo, plano de en algunos lugares, al lado de la carretera, nos sentimos muy seguros.
Report Check-InWe were stuck in Ecuador due to blockades and camped at the nearby lake (better place). There is a family that lives here and you can park overnight for free. Trail through forest cost $0.50/pp.
Report Check-Inthis is a really nice place to stay overnight. all as described in the first comment. except that in the „closed building“ a lady and kids were. they are responsable that no one gets lost in the forest. we came on a saturday afternoon and they left before dawn, but opened a clean toilet for us over night (in the little round hut behind). free, no claro reception at the parking but a bit higher up in the forrest.
