Lots of parking, we found a couple of trees and that was better. They say the shower has hot water. We will try later. It does have hot water and you have a room with a toilet also.

Estação de serviço grande, estacionamento para caminhões, opção pra estacionar motorhome atrás ou em frente ao posto. Pessoal muito gentil, tem água para abastecimento do motorhome em 2 torneiras na frente da loja. Excelente ponto de parada com segurança e tranquilidade.

Good service station and restaurant. We could get some water also, for our tank.

Safe free place to stay with an option to pay for warm showers and laundry.

Shower costed 800clp per person and laundry would cost 2000clp / washing machine and 2000clp / drying machine.

There are several “homeless” people outside who will ask to clean your vehicle’s windshield, but they will all go away at about 22-23.

Everything is open 24/7, which might come in handy in an emergency.

The only reason why we didn’t give it 5 stars is because the shower is not hot enough and gets crowded by truck drivers between 8-11pm.

we ended up staying another night! very safe and quiet! (for a gas station) great place before going to Iquique!

August 14th, 2022 by Simbali-Expedition

We sleep in here last night. In the parking lot in front of the pronto store. at the corner we you are also in front of the petrol station for an extra security. Very safe ....very quiet (for a petrol station) because in this part you don't hear the trucks parking in the other side. And for the weekend safe and quiet !

Well maintained like before. You can charge your electric stuffs inside the punto(cafe and restaurant) on the floor, and in the terrace. Wifi is good working now without pw. We arrive here so late. It’s happy to have a dinner for us and our car! The option to eat is included of main dish(menu del dia, till 8:00pm). Full fill it up! For sure it’s noisy to sleep inside our rooftop tent. However no complaint.

No wifi at the moment, but good Entel coverage.

We stayed here one night and made use of the showers (now $800 CLP), toilets (with toilet seat, soap and paper), and water basin outside for dishes. Very clean and tidy, a nice luxury after some of the Peruvian truck stops and facilities we have used. Had no problems. Slightly noisy when one truck pulled up next to us at 1am and didn't turn his engine off for a while. But that was just one person one time!

Free. Surpisingly quiet parking among the trucks. But trucks fill up early. Weak wifi. Laundry. Restaurant.

Accepts Visa and MasterCard. I post this as not all gas stations do.

August 8th, 2019 by adventureisupthere.com

We could fill our tanks of water for free and eat at the restaurant but the showers were out of service. Wifi is very bad.
We spent the night on the parking behind with all the trucks.

Amplo estacionamento,agua potável em bebedouros ao redor do edifício,amplo menu

Surprisingly quiet if you find an out of the way spot in back. Water for jugs and tanks, clean bathrooms. We did our laundry here, now 2000/machine (about 5 kilos, including soap) so for us it was worth it. Lounge with TV amd restaurant. Wifi works but was slow. Great place for before/after Humberstone.

September 30th, 2018 by vardeuai

We stay parked at área for trucks behind of the gas station.
All facilities you need.

September 19th, 2018 by atenea

Everything as described before. Clean facilities, friendly staff and felt very safe (we were traveling with two windows broken so that's a lot to say for us).
Drinking water available in a couple of spots around the building.
Free but as told by one of the employees not for too long :(
.
Todo tal como lo describen. Limpio, empleados cordiales y aparentemente muy seguro (lo cual es mucho decir para nosotros que viajábamos con dos ventanas rotas).
Agua potable disponible en piletas alrededor del edificio.
Gratis pero de acuerdo a un empleado no por mucho más tiempo :(

We got our laundry done and had a hot shower. Cost for shower is 1000 pesos. They don’t clean the showers between customers. When we told them they were filthy. they just laughed at us.

August 20th, 2018 by withloveapril

Very secure safe place to sleep for the night, amazing free hot showers, clean bathrooms, laundry machines, quiet night for us.

June 19th, 2018 by double dutch world safari

clean, good food, but unfortunate for us laundry did not work. arrived at 9am were told would open at 12pm at 12 we were told maybe 3pm. Water was not available unless we wanted to fill buckets. i would stay at humberstone or even better el giant of the desert just 45km away.

February 18th, 2018 by sonja_winti

We had not stayed for the night, but this is definitely a WOW Copec. Super clean & super modern (only a year old). All facilities you could wish for, also water to refill tanks and a nice Pronto/Restaurant.
BTW: The main road of town is really nice and you can get all you need.

Clean hot showers with good pressure for CLP 800 now (worth the money). We also used the washing machine (40 minutes) and dryer (45 minutes) for CLP 2000. Very good value for money!! Free Wifi is weak. Stayed for the night at the car parking (and not at the back where all the trucks pass by). Very quiet, only one car stopped with loud music on that Fridaynight. The roadnoise (very little) didn‘t botter us.

Very clean and hot showers for 500 CLP (no matter which language you speak of course). You can also wash your clothes here - one token is 2000 CLP (you need one for washing and one for drying).

August 15th, 2017 by er42157

If you can't really speak Spanish like me and my friend. You will pay 500 peso for hot showers.

July 31st, 2017 by mowagon

The usual, but seems now you have to pay for showers, only 500 though. We would have preferred staying at the Conaf camping 20km further south but needed 3G. We slept out the front instead of the back with the trucks, not too noisy.

Nice clean facilities and good service at gas pump. It was great to have a free hot shower.

July 11th, 2017 by memoriasdemochila.com.br

Very good COPEC. Hot showers for free (just need to register before), very clean, kind of a "waiting room" very comfortable with table for writing/edit pictures and stuff like this. Wifi REALLY slow :( but ok, you are in the middle of the desert.
Trucks ate very noise during the night, so wear earplugs.

July 5th, 2017 by wu-tour.de

the showers are free, hot and clean; however you have to get registered before. it is not as quiet as in humberstone but fine for a night. the internet was ok during an important football match, otherwise very slow. you can get potable water and we felt safe. so :-)!

June 28th, 2017 by ea2cguillier

Wonderful free and clean hot showers ! Wifi ok, open. Unfortunately, no water to refill the tank and no washing machine for now. We spent the night here, in front of the store, not so noisy, friendly staff.

June 27th, 2017 by lilakennelly

We asked if we could stay and were directed to the truck parking area - full of security cameras, felt safe. Hot showers (free, clean). Burgers were surprisingly tasty (4900 w fries and drink). Nice new petrol station.

June 20th, 2017 by Douglas Vieira

Good place to pass a night. Shower is free. Everything is new.

June 1st, 2017 by nikondgo

There's free wi-fi as well, a bit slow, but usable.

May 20th, 2017 by mauro

24/7 gas station with all the facilities (shower, bathroom, a food Store, etc)
