Check-Ins

Diesel experts. We lost turbo pressure and they were able to find and change the valve in one day for our European VW Crafter. Also asked them if they could do a oil and filter change and done quickly and professionally. Highly recommended for your diesel truck/van. Very friendly staff (Spanish only).

It’s a bit cheaper option to park in shade than just before the trail. There is no parking at the visitor center. 10r for a day

We didn’t camp here but visited the orchid garden, it’s 25r pp. There is a big parking lot so I assume it’s still possible to camp. There’s also a fancy restaurant. Opening hours are for the garden- Tuesday-sunday 10-17h and for the restaurant Wednesday-sunday 11-19h. I think they also have rooms to let.
The gardens are very big with lots of orchids, bromelias etc but not many were flowering when we were here.
No need for 4x4 to get here

Sanidump and potable water, $10 pay inside to get code to open dump cap. Water is right there also, just attach hose. Make sure you turn into truck fuel area and dump is on left side on yellow cross lines.

This location is still open and they are able to fill an RV tank with a hose! Very friendly staff!

Nice little campground 10 min from 70. Didn’t stay but was able to fill up water.

This was freaking delicious. We paid 225 pesos for 12 tacos, which was perfect for 4 of us. Tried the fish and the shrimp, both are probably the best fish tacos we have ever had!

Price is $15 payable with card or Apple Pay. Water was available as well.

This place was recommended by locals, much safer than the dangerous place at Laguna Moron (many robberies)

Decidimos não ficar no camping. Iriam nos cobrar 1700 pesos para duas pessoas e barraca. Não ficamos pois o camping é utilizado como local de festa. Há "área de asadores" e nesses locais havia muitas pessoas alcoolizadas e muito lixo pelo chão. Imaginamos como deveria estar os banheiros.. Também encontramos dificuldade em encontrar um ponto de luz na área para camping. São muitos poucos espalhados pelo camping, e os que encontramos não estavam funcionando.

Great spot for the night, stayed here with our truck. Its a bit protected from the wind. Great views on the snow topped mountain. Very very quiet.

the friendly officer waved us through on a saturday noon at 12:30

These streets around downtown seem to allow overnight parking between 5:30:pm to 7:30 am the next morning. Pretty level too.

Local seguro com amplo estacionamento e banheiros limpos

50000p/night/vehicule with pool, wifi, shower and toilets.
20000p with mototaxi to go to hacienda napoles

Very easy and friendly. We filled up 2, 1 gallon jugs, and 2 5 gallon jugs for about 30 pesos. They did have a hose as well, but we just took them to a window while he filled them. Easy!

Decidimos não ficar no camping. Tinha muitas pessoas aproveitando o final de semana e o camping era pequeno. Iriam cobrar 1700 para duas pessoas com eletricidade (700 por pessoa + 300 pelo uso da eletricidade).

I had to wait 40min (on a Saturday) to get 5 regular good empanadas (1,800 peso each)…

When you approach the power station, keep going to the left, where the sign says boat launch. When you get to the boat launch parking, you can't miss a big sign for campers, with the number to call
The number is +12292733811, if you want to call ahead. Choose the option to speak to someone right away. They will tell you what sites are available. You drive to the site you want and they will come down to find you and register. The campground is small and the sites are NOT private. But the parking pads are gravel, level and will accommodate big rigs. Concrete picnic table, trash can, fire pit. Water spigots throughout the park.

This is at the "birdsong camp". Be careful here. There are remains of either a well or septic system on the ground. Prob very hard to see after dark.

As described. There are 3 dump holes, further one on right for “RHS” dumping.

Beautiful place to spend a few days before or after the border-crossing, very friendly and open-minded vecinos, good and cheap food en la tiendita. Enjoy! 😄

This is a great alternative to paying for camping in Hovenweep monument. Very clean, spacious, nice views. Weak cell service. There’s another spot a bit further down the road on the left, if this one is occupied. I’m guessing that the hill on the approach is challenging in wet or snowy weather.

Heading towards Veracruz. Just asked us where we were from and where we were coming from. Very friendly.

Go here. They have everythingggggggg and cheap! Meat and veggies and vegan things.

Why is pesto so expensive in south America and olives btw…

Nice restaurant. Nice special beers and pizza or something else like a steak with french fries. Its called Fusion 40 and its open from 20:00 untill 03:30

An abandonmed gas station with a huge park and trees

Basic room, cheap (paid 300MXN for 1 person) perfect spot for a cyclist, clean establishment, water was not warm but not cold either. The owner Beto is suuuuper nice! Speaks English very well too. Excellent WIFI. Would recommend :))

Cheap full- hook ups (for most sites). big rig friendly. Pay at the gas station. Pull though sites. Some road/train noise. Travel center has bathrooms, Dairy Queen, souvenirs, gas (diesel was out of service when we were here).

Easy border but you need time!!
The guy at the enterance told you where to go and everything.
1. white tent with QRcode for Corona questionnaire(on your right hand) & vaccination control
2. Migration (middle of the place Guatemala to Honduras is in the back of the "mainstreet")
You have to take the really left desk first (leaving Guatemala), then the next desks are the enterance to Honduras. Stamp for passports. 80l per Person.
3. Go to the "aduana" - first Guatemala side to quit your SAT temp. import and then further on to Honduras side for new TIP. Costs 798l.
4. for dogowners go to the SEPA across the aduana desks and show the papers of your animal, short check if the dog looks like described in tbe passport, that's everything. Costs 300l.

Your finished! Go to your car and leave the border zone. Have prepared for leave:
passports, TIP and animalimport (but they only want to see our passports & TIP for leaving.

We needed 3hours to get through. They can make copies themselves, but it's good to have your passports, carpapers and animalpapers in copy so you can hand the copies over.

There is an app to precheckin to the Honduras border (prechequeo migratorio Honduras, turquoise logo with a walking man with suitcase) but it was down today and it was no problem to cross without any precheckin or filling online forms before...
