Check-Ins

Really clean place, still $10 for 1 person with shared bathroom. Fast WiFi. I saw the comments about ‘warm not hot’ water, but you can get hot water by using a lower pressure on the electric shower like normal.

We parked our 2wd 20ft Citroen Relay (same as Promaster) on the Virgin side of the old bridge. Backed up to railings and on old tarmac so pretty level and solid. Removed about 20 cans from fire pit - why do people think that throwing them in a fire makes them disappear? Some little flies but not bitting. Pretty good spot, bit of road noise but river noise was lovely. Good for the odd overnight and close to road.
Looks like there is another site the other side of the river but didn't investigate. We took the RH of the two tracks up as it was less rutted.

this is a huge and modern gas station / truck stop and pretty easy to use and the best part is it's free! The challenges I experienced are minimal but be aware the slant isn't the best for getting everything out of your tank, the sewer port is a little farther that is needs to be especially with those giant pillars in front and there is only one water output so you can use it for cleaning and fresh water for your tanks.

Water on northwest corner of building. Attendant said it was drinking water and ok to fill up.

Muy buen lugar, pasamos una noche. Dado que tenemos un motorhome, nunca nos habíamos aparcado tan cerca de la playa; hay un montón de lugar para aparcarse sin quedar atrapado en la arena.
Lugar muy tranquilo con restaurantes y algunos locales por el día. Atardeceres de 10!

I would rate this place as fair. The lake is nice enough, but there is a fair amount of garbage both on shore and in the water unfortunately. If it rains, like it did for us, the land and parking area turns into a bit of a swamp which is not so pleasant. It's free, but other than that I would not rush back here.

Now 125 bol for a double room (Single use). They let me park my motorcycle in the entrance. It would only fit a small bike.
I asked for a dorm, but she said it's not available, I guess it's only for people taking spanish classes.

We initially wanted to go to nautic club takuaro one side road further north but landed here by mistake. We asked and the let is in after some discussions, as they are not used to vans parking for the night, more the local day beach tourism. The campground is nicely set at the lake with a sand beach and a nice clean grass area with many trees. Nice sunsetm We paid 100000 g for 2 ppl and a van. Initially they wanted 80000 for the day and the same for the night, but we managed to get it cheaper. We were the only ones on a hot day in May. Note that there are not many level spaces for vans, and if more busy I think they wont allow it as you will stand in the common area. There is a bbq area right by the beach, many working power sockets and good wifi (they gave us their private one). Only downpoint is that the toilets are quite dirty - like well maintained in general, but weeks of no cleaning.

Super location. Great storage inside hotel for bicycles. We asked for a room with a view of the lake which they happily gave us.
50 sols for a double room.

We checked out some places at the lake but they where all expensive. This one is directly at the lake with a really nice view. 150 per person.

spigot by the picnic table with also 110v ourlet, great parking spot for van,and 1 spot for 32feet rv , heres à nice park for kid , and great place to walk

Now $15 per adult for access for pools, sauna, and showers. Pool are includes hot, warm, and cold. It was a nice stop, locker rooms can use update

Very basic guesthouse. Rooms are very dirty. $14 for two with private bathroom. Water is sometimes warm. Ok WIFI. Had no towels. Girl tried to give me two towels that looked dirty and I asked her if the were clean and she said she didn’t know! We were able to fit two bicycles into our room.

Two guesthouses in town and this is the better of the two. After camping the past 3 nights in the rain we really needed a shower…only reason we stayed here.

Juan Carlos and Claudia are super kind and friendly!! They host travelers since 10 years ago! If you are in Cali don't hesitate about staying here. They saw our van in the street and invited us to their home, they offered us shower, laundry, wifi, even bikes to take a ride around the city!! and they are not interested in charge any money.The park in front is very nice, lot of bars and restaurants.

Juan y Claudia son super amables y buena onda! Reciben viajeros hace mas de 10 años. Vieron nuestra van en la calle y nos invitaron a su casa, nos ofrecieron ducha, lavadora, wifi, incluso bicis para pasear x la ciudad y no les interesa cobrar nada. Si estas en Cali no dudes en quedarte aca. El parque de enfrente es muy lindo, lleno de bars y restaurantes.

The water is on. Hose spigot is close to the ground. Clean park on the water.

Local amplo. Ficamos 2 noites aqui. Local tranquilo. Tem placa dizendo que é "pago", mas ninguém apareceu para cobrar.

A quaint spot right on the ocean. The site is elevated on a small 15 foot cliff above the beach below and provides amazing views of anchorage and the surrounding coastline.
Right near a small bushplane runway so this spot provides some entertainment as well. There’s is a hike leading down the coastline to some old military missile bunkers that are pretty neat. Lots of wildlife including wood grouse moose and some signs of bears. Field of grass and dandelions that is the perfect place to spend the day.
Internet speed test is linked in the photos portion of this listing.
No bathrooms so be sure to bury it and bag your tp.
Road in is pretty easy once all the snow is melted, no real turn around spot for larger RVs so be wary if driving anything long.
It’s a bit un-level but wasn’t enough to bother me.
Biggest downside to this spot is the military jets and carriers that fly around creating all kinds of noise randomly throughout the day.
I have some videos of this spot and the surrounding area posted on my Instagram and tik tok for anyone interested.
Pretty great spot 8/10

To get here head SE toward the runway then take the dirt road on your right before it and keep left everywhere after that and you’ll end up here.

This placed doesn’t exist anymore. There’s a shop now alrezsince 2-3 years. Instead look for Heladería Café Venezia which is not that far away.

no stop for us today, but they were there

The guys did a great job. In the meanwhile we could use the fast Wi-Fi and we’re allowed to fill up water. Gave a tipp for this great service

When we arrived in Cúcuta we were dying after a good coffee and delicious ice cream. We found this place after we learned that Cafe Tokyo doesn’t exist anymore. The coffee at Venezia is excellent and you’ll find an authentic italian ice cream. The “stratiatella” has big pieces of chocolate inside and tastes like you expect it from Italy. They also serve a wide range of Italian food. The owner isIitalian and lives in Colombia since 60 years now.

They offer good cheese, some of the best we tasted in 4 months SA (some guys at the local sunday market of Colonia in Uruguay had the best). The gruyere and raclette are really nice, but dont taste like the originals. Still, very recomendable to go there on the way.

We arrived at 14.35 and still could do the 1h tourist tour at 15.00, before that we watched the movie. We liked the tour, they went just for us in a big coach bus which was a bit weird. On the way we passed a brazilian bus which was full! They have the mentioned open top bus, but the rest seems to be the same tour.

This place is literally on the graveyard….I guess the parking space in front of it is just better for staying the night. Therefore you need to drive to 20° 28′ 53,1″ S 66° 50′ 20,3″ W

There are now 8 sites for equestrian’s and 8 sites for motorized vehicles. Very quit.

Plaza con seguridad 24 horas, realizan ferias de víveres frente al mar, tranquilo para pasar la noche y recorrer la Playa de Barra de Tijuca, farmacia y supermercado cerca.

Easy access, very quiet for one night, camper van, several rvs parked when we arrived, some construction noise but no other disruption, nice meal also

Nice place, as described. It is free and has amazing river views. Right now there is a weird smell in the air. Not sure if this was just from the recent rain and I hope it goes away tomorrow.

Best Pizza so far in Southamerica.
Also the ambiance is very nice.
If you stay more than 10 Month in Southamerica you can be happy to eat on of this pizzas.
