Check-Ins

We spent one night here. Very nice view on the lake. A lot of trash….everywhere. That’s so sad to see animals in the middle of that. We slept with pigs and cows.

Estacionamento público atrás do posto da Guarda Municipal, muito seguro e quieto a noite. Pela manhã faz sombra embaixo das árvores. Em frente tem uma padaria que abre cedo.

When you reach this point, you should take the dirt road on the right-hand side of the path, just after seeing the road sign. You should drive on a dirt road for approximately 8 - 10 minutes until you reach the lighthouse. The road can be traversed by sedan vehicles with caution.

Al llegar a este punto, debe tomar el camino de tierra que se encuentra a mano derecha del camino, justo después de ver el aviso vial. Debe conducir por un camino de tierra por aproximadamente 8  - 10 minutos hasta llegar al faro. El camino puede ser transitado por vehículos sedan con prudencia.

Nice and big campground. $1000 for 2 people and a van. Shower and toilets a bit old but clean enough and showers very warm.
Wifi working close to the entrance

Struggled a little bit at first to convince the lovely lady here to let us camp in the store room/cocina. She wanted us to pay for a bed in the municipal hotel, but took us in here to leave our bikes and then we asked whether we could just camp next to them (there’s a toilet). She was a little nervous as apparently some tourists had removed items from the rooms in recent weeks. So if you plan to stay here please be aware that they have had a recent betrayal and that may affect how you’re treated. I think a willingness to talk with her in Spanish at length despite having just got out of a snowstorm really helped - we were with a fluent speaker who had lots of patience. We were charged 20 soles for three people which seemed very reasonable.

Still as described in 2023 for cyclists. Expensive trucha but delicious and a calm space to spend the night. The restaurant bit is indoors so you could hang out there before bed if the weather wasn’t on your side.

Good Walmart. No signs to be seen. Very quiet. No problems. It's a Walmart you know the deal.

excelente lugar. mucha sombra. el finde vienen famílias y grupos a pesar el día, entre semana muy tranquilo. mejor que la costanera.

Coffee surprisingly good, expensive for the region, good Aircon, average WiFi, mediocre food as for what I had.

Nous avons coucher une nuit. Vous pouvez d'abord vous stationner , marcher dans le tunnel (environs 10 minutes) et vous vous retrouverez directement dans le port . Pas besoin donc de payer le stationnement près de la Marina.
Attention le train passe toute la nuit a proximité, mais heureusement les klaxon arrête vers 10hres du soir.

Simple hotel, owner offered to let me bring my moto inside, I was worried about getting it up his thin plank of wood, left it right outside, no security issues. Nice owner, sweet town, very old world vibe. Gorgeous location in the mountains. Only thing I’d have liked would be wifi.

Stayed here for one night in our campervan (3.5 ton, 2WD front, 6m long).
I can not fully recommend:
- To get to the spot is possible, but it has a few challenges (narrow sections, steep, washed out) and no chance to turn around before getting to the spot.
- The spot is in front of a house, which also offers paid parking. So, the situation is a bit awkward.
- There are 4 to 5 dogs at the house, which kept barking during the whole night.

there are 5 disperse campsites just past the REALLY rough part of the road. I took my time and made it in a forester. no cell service.

Small family run Indian place. Husband is from India, Wife from El Salvador. Delicious food! Small place. Check google for hours but they are open most days. Dinner time gets packed! Vegan options

We spent 3 nights here. The price is 50 reis per person, however, if you stay longer, you can have a discount. We paid 40 reis per person. Great camping, well situated, quiet, wifi, kitchen, etc.

This point can be removed. No obstacles on road….we passed with 9t truck….

Still perfect place to stay at around 3700m before hillclimp starts….nice and very big area.

Stayed here one Saturday night when all campsites nearby were booked. Quiet night. Would stay again.

In the evening a few people came to look at the river and 5 fisherman looked after their boats. We had a quiet night, but the next day we decided to move, because the water of the river was rising.

The shower for the womans is super hot. And the pressure is really good.

Further you can sleep here. Its the parkinglot behind the gasstation. We were with 15 other campers. Very safe, super quite, there is a restaurant on the other side, toilets, wifi, water and drinkingwater. Very very nice. Western union is 10 min walking and supermarket also.

Perfect spot for vanlife. There is grass, its like a little park we would say.

Perfect spot.

Its the parkinglot behind the gasstation. They have hot showers at the womans one. Toilets, wifi, restaurant, coffee, water potable and non potable, there is grass so you can sit nice outside. And a lotttt of other campers. Everyone is really relaxed and doing there own thing.

Its very quite, we sleep with the door open tonight (with musquito net) 😜

Wifi. In and out. Its not super fast but working. Its free

This is a rest area with lots of spaces. Camper, truck and cars parked right off 101 but pretty quiet for a Saturday night.

Stayed here. It was okay for an overnight stop. Was 15 dollars (senior discount 55 and above). otherwise 20 dollars. RV site with power and water.

We spend the night here, arrived at 6pm leave at 10am. Nobody use the road we were on. Very quiet.

C'est effectivement un emplacement sur le début d'une route, on y était de 18h à 10h et personne n'a voulu emprunter la route où nous étions garés.
Un peu de signal internet. Très calme.

Seemed to be no problem staying here, joked up for the full day aswell to wait out the storm many people came by no one said anything

Hablando te dan un espacio para acampar e información de la ruta, buena comida y gente muy amable.

Hablando te dan un espacio para acampar y quizás una cama. tienen comida buena y económica.

you can not park here! maybe when OP came you could but now there is signs saying no overnight, you will be towed/ ticketed

Really nice stay, quiet and welcoming. 5$per person with great service - clean bathroom & kitchen, hot shower. Perfect place to stay!!
