Nice place to visit and learn about Pisco-production (and Wine). Tasting of Pisco and co of course not missing. Very friendly people, know even a little english.
Tip based payment. Worth a visit as its close to the PanAm.

An absolutely lovely ,old‘ couple are offering a tour with their selfmade train through the woods with a little walk (3.000 pP) and different boattrips (8.000 pP for example for 2,5h) through the sunken forest and the pacific ocean.

Just go to the restaurant and ask for all of it, or what you‘d like to do.

Good food & coffee, too!

Enjoy :)

Peaceful and quiet night. No road noise. There are no parking restriction signs. It's a dead end road. Farther from the trailhead is quieter. Lots of flat spots. Nice trails.

This auto glass shop was listed in a recommended auto crystal shop from the Vankooks Baja Guide, all I can say is avoid this place. They do absolute shotty work. I asked for them to remove a windshield, clean and reseal it due to a leak from rust. I look back and see them smearing black sealant all over the place making an absolute mess. There were black hand prints all over the window and inside the van where they grabbed hand holds. I spent the next hour cleaning off the mess they made. They clearly took the easy way out rather than properly repair the windshield.

I can only agree with what was said before. Amazing place with great professionals who will assist you in getting your bike ready for your adventure. They know what they are talking about and you can really trust them. We got our bikes all shining and repaired, ready to start the careterra austral.

update : we noticed some problems afterwards ... nothing too serious but still, better check your bike when you receive it.

Stopped in on the way to Canada. Weather conditions had me choose to stay an extra night as did the six other rvs that were here. Fairly quiet for a Walmart as it isn’t right next to the highway. Store hours 6am to 11pm. Stocked up before hitting the road 😊

Free desert camping What more can be said. Marine base or Air Force practices once in a while in this area and a train comes by a few times A-day Other than that very quiet and peaceful. Lots of gold mines in the area to Explore. Good Verizon signal. You're near Algadonus Mexico so you can go get your prescriptions filled there or teeth fixed and eyeglasses made.

Enough grass to pitch a tent, but you're not right next to the view so it's kind of just like camping in a car park. Very quiet though - not a single car came past on the road until the first (very friendly) souvenir sellers arrived at 7.40. If you wake up early enough the view of sunrise is amazing.
There is some flat looking grass on the other side of the road from here, with a much better view. I didn't check it out as it was late, but it is a more beautiful spot. Worth a look.

Nice walk first in the river bed (under the bridge), then on a hiking path you reach the „cave“. It’s not really a cave but once it was a ceremony place.
The local guide asks 1000 p/p, but if you have seen other „geoglyphes“ before it’s not worth to go in.
But you must walk below the cave, then turn right and scale up the hill, then you see a amazing green grass field. If you climb higher to the next level through tight rocks at the end of the canyon you will see a miracle: a lagoon surrounded by red rocks. You can also reach the „rock window“ from there to have a look down. It’s such a wonder place!
Approx 10 km.

very nice place almost directly on the beach. 2 toilets very clean and including toilet paper, 2 showers dingy. No gate or fence. WiFi very fast, also upload. At 7,000 per person a bit too expensive, especially since there is no electricity to connect. nevertheless recommendable, because probably the closest option to the town center.

Another perfect spot at the sea! Some sites between palmtrees and plenty of space. Site is close to Montezuma, a nice and relaxed village. We spent one night and felt safe.

Recommended!

Just a nice little free camping spot. About 12 spots. Only 2 have picnic tables. There is a vault toilet and a Dumpster. Seems there is local traffic that just drives through during the day! Normal Missouri Conservation Rules! Dogs must be on leash, 14 day stay out of 30!

This route is truly amazing, so beautiful! The road after the border entering Togo is not good but we would recommend it straight away even though the border took us more than 2.4 hours.

Exiting Ghana was easy. It took some time but the people were nice and all was good.

Entering Togo was more complex. We arranged an e-visa as earlier comments said you needed it here. But we were two days earlier than mentioned on the visa. The embassy (who we contacted before hand) said this was no problem but the man at the border said we had to wait 2 days. Long story short we had to pay extra, money for his own pocket. You can buy a visa here by the way. so we advise to do that!
After this point we came at a spot where we had to pay 2000 cfa for our car. We did not get a ticket. The man was stubborn but it was clear it was money for his pocket again. After a discussion we paid but explained that this was not good for tourism in Togo. Maybe if more people explain this it will change some day?

11km later there is a post to stamp your CDP. Easy, no hussle!
