Check-Ins

Drove through here today (it's a Saturday) and roadworks is happening. They closed the road behind us right after we passed. Stuck behind a work truck for a bit. Ripio Is always a joy! 🤯

We did not stay here because there is a sign stating that it is temporarily closed for renovations. It does not say when it will reopen.

A very good place if you camp in vans. Parking spaces are pretty small even for a bigger van. We even got some coconuts under in trees, the coconut milk is so good!.

Location is correct! Barbara lives in a very old overgrown Bus.

Bought a Texas state parks pass a few days ago which made two nights here only $30. Open wooded area with clean restrooms and hot showers. We are flying out on an early flight tomorrow and the airport terminal and economy parking is only a few minutes away- perfect!

As described above, truly a hidden gem. We spoke with someone who helps support the space. You do need to pay $15 if you want electricity (it’s locked otherwise). They have pit toilets available, but also a really nice updated bathroom facility with one shower in each gendered bathroom.
They also have hiking trails, playgrounds, and free firewood. We are one of very few people here (mostly hunters). Absolutely worth the stop if you’re in the area.

Nous y avons passé une nuit, très tranquille. Réveil avec la vie sur le lac, très beau. Les sanitaires étaient fermés à cause de l'horaire d'hiver. Nous n'avons pas été dérangé, nous sommes arrivés après 21 heures et avons quitté pour 8 heures, nous n'avons pas eu à payer les frais de stationnement.

In the left side when come from the ferry of Puerto Yungay. Just after the exit to Tortel on your left and after crossing the bridge on your right is the entrance. We took it with both a 4x4 and a 2 wheel drive without a problem. Continue though the gras until you can turn right where there is a nice open spot at the fast flowing river. Away from the quiet road you are fully in the beautiful nature with views on the mountain and the river. And indeed there is a fire pit. I slept very well in a roof tent on the sound of the river. But when I was there in November it was cold (1 degrees) but with a sleeping back and extra covers I slept warm and as a baby.
The spot is also totally clean. No rubbish or what so ever. Let’s keep it that way. Take it all with you!!

It was good that after visiting Tortel I returned for another night. And I even had internet there!

A princípio as duchas são exclusivas para os caminhoneiros, mas falando com o encarregado ele autorizou usarmos as duchas quentes e o banho é muito bom. Eles tem uma cozinha grande, refeitório, que pode ser utilizada pelos caminhoneiros. Não utilizamos esse espaço, mas é limpo e tem até espaço pra paella.
Passamos a noite e o barulho dos caminhões é constante, mas nada que incomode pra dormir. Um ótimo lugar pra descansar da viagem e conta com uma excelente loja de conveniências com muitas opções e bom atendimento.

A Laguna Azul é simplesmente deslumbrante! Ventos fortíssimos, mas não tem como não se encantar com toda essa beleza natural. Fizemos várias fotos e vídeos. Como digo sempre, o trajeto proporciona paisagens incríveis, então nem sempre o destino é o mais importante. Aprecie o trajeto! É a mão Deus boa mostrando o tanto que a natureza é linda!

Chegamos na Aduana às 11h pra fazer o trâmite da documentação e liberar a passagem pro Chile, pra cruzarmos até o Ushuaia. Ficamos cerca de 2h e meia na fila, mas deu tudo certo. Como não vamos entrar no Chile, não foi cobrado o Soapex compatível ao DPVAT no Brasil. Pediram passaportes, CNH, carta verde e CRVL documento do veículo. Tudo certo, fomos liberados.

Cruzamos o Estreito de Magalhães na balsa em direção ao Uahuaia. Pagamos 6.400 pesos (R$ 112,00) e levou uns 30 minutos de travessia.

Aduana pra sair do Chile e entrar na Argentina. Pediram passaportes, papel que a Polícia do Chile deu e o CRVL do veículo. Carimbaram os passaportes com a saída do Chile e nos liberaram.

@rabugentos_trip
Aduana pra dar entrada na Argentina. Tranquilo 5 minutos, só pedem passaportes, CRVL do veículo e carta verde. Carimbam os passaportes dando entrada na Argentina e liberam.

Passamos direto, não havia ninguém no local.

received "the knock" by the sheriff and asked us and an RV to leave. he stated park closes at sunset and we cannot stay there.

As described by others. Arrived around 11p and there were many other cars and vans but still plenty of available parking. One other van arrived after me and left before me. I left around 7:30a, before most others. It was a quiet and safe-feeling night.

Very smelly as it is a wetland area and partly swampy. Many birds and insects, humid.
Easy to reach, rather clean.
But nothing like a beach, just a flat access to the lake.

By the Güejar River-
EcoFarm
Bird watching
Rafting
Trecking
Crowded on long weekends

Good station. Churrasco ok. Quiet at night, showers and toilets ok but bring something to close the door. Good wifi too

DAKER MONUMENT THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE WOULD SEE. UNIQUE

Not bad for 1 night. Small town. so not much options. 20 blvs per person per night.
Nice lady, we come on motorcycle.

Think we where the first people here since the pandemic.

She had to prepare the rooms. But no issue. Very Very basic. A bed in a room nothing more.

Just a big gravel lot. Free. Metal railing surrounding it. A big dumpster by the entrance. No water, bathrooms, or electric. There are big rocks all over the place so be mindful of them. All cars are fine if you take it kinda slow.

Ótimo wild camping, bastante árvores e sossegado.

TONS of parking here. There had to be 15 rigs all spread out when we arrived on a Friday evening. That being said no one is on top of each other. It was all very spread out.

We struggled to find the entrance so to ensure that doesn’t happen o anyone else:
Once you turn off the main road you’ll drive across a rest stop like area with big piles of gravel. Directly in front of you there is a fence. Follow the fence all the way to the right and you’ll find a cattle guard to cross over and onto the BLM land.

No 4x4 necessary. No high clearance necessary. We drive a 25’ school bus and managed with ease.

The stars here are AMAZING.

Tons of great spots around here; I don't remember exactly where we stayed. There were quite a few people on a Saturday, but still plenty of room to find privacy. The sunset and stars were both amazing, even though you could still see the highway.

Don‘t try any of these parkings here!
Stayed on home depots parking. At midnight Security and Police came by and asked to leave immediately.

right off of 112 just outside of Neah Bay. there is access to beach, make sure tide conditions are favorable. even though right next to the road very quite. the ocean sound quits everything.

The road in is pretty bumpy. There were few cars that passed down the road throughout the night. Quiet and clean overall.

We arrived on a Saturday night and enjoyed such a quiet evening. We loved the fact we could grill outside too. Five minutes to the main plaza the next morning. Just perfect!
