Check-Ins

The best dirty chai I have had in a very long time!! They are so nice and welcoming. I wish I knew about them my first time passing through!

I did not care for their coffee. I had it the first time I passed through town. Artesanías J & J has the best coffee, go there first if they are open. The shop in the back at Mancu is great for finding gifts to being home.

Stayed here for one night. Very quiet. In the middle of nature. In the morning some vicunas. Lot of space to find the right place.

Quiet, little to no traffic, dead at night. Nice town nearby, casino is small but nice

gas station and small store. diesel available

No diesel here, only gasolina, expected in a few days

It works, it's free, and the view is nice.

Buen lugar para dormir. Medio alejado de la ciudad al lado del poli. Un poco de ruido por la mañana con niños jugando.

Awesome place, beautiful rancho. Colibries all around you. After a busy few weeks it was perfect here to rest. We stayed 5 nights and the utilities are good: hot shower, cooking area and nice lounge.

Franklin and Alejandra were super friendly and helpful. Their kids are super nice too.

Franklin even went with us to mechanics for a problem we had and helped us get diesel. He also showed us around in the area.

We can only recommend this place, no flaws and we hope to come back some day!

They have diesel, only cash.
With Franklins help (rancho la Azulita) we cut through the line because that was for gasoline. Only 2 trucks waiting for diesel and we were gone in 10 minutes.

Walk around the first pump coming from El Vigia and there is a small window for diesel payments. You have to pay upfront for the amount of liters you want. Then take the receipt to the pump.

Nice owners. And indeed, free coffee, without telling us they removed the 2x coffee from the bill and we didn’t have to pay.

We had a nice chat with both owners and they have traveled a lot in Venezuela and can for sure recommend something.

Really nice view from the two pools. It was 30 min to go up and price is still $3. If you sleep on the parking and start walking at 8AM when they open you’ll have the pools to yourself like we had.

they have small ac room with toilette for 10k, but too many mosquitos inside so I changed to 15k room..wifi is good , electricity and running water is not stable, and it was flooded because of the rain in the evening or what.

Quite, no “no overnight “ signs, nothing else

pasamos una noche en el parque la bandera, tienes WiFi y baños muy limpios a disposición, las personas que cuidan el lugar son muy amables y los dueños de los locales también nos dieron unos regalos de bienvenida, la noche fue muy buena y de mañana sentimos un poco de frío, excelente lugar para dormir!

not sure if conditions have changed since the last visitor, but this site is not level it's very slanted on one side and it's quite literally in the middle of the road. the moment I parked here, a truck was coming up the road from the opposite end. I felt like I should move. it definitely didn't feel like it camping spot or a parking spot for that matter.
it might be worth checking out if you're coming late at night and leaving early in the morning, when there's likely nobody out here.

Pasamos una noche en este lugar, nuestros hijos disfrutaron de la piscina, es un buen lugar para luego enfrentar la gran sabana, muchas a gracias Luis por la estadía!

Small place for full and dry camp located in La Paz downtown.
Close to the Malecón and very close to supermarket, convenience stores, drugstore, restaurants and bars.

Easy access to potable water. If you can remove the hose for filling jugs (it wasn’t easy) then you can hook up your own hose. If using your own hose, and depending on your setup, you might need one person to hold the button that runs the water while another holds the other end of the hose and monitors the water level.

Road is closed at this time, must be too early in the season.

Potable water spigot at pump #7. Need a hose to use

Beautiful spot and private kind of. Got in because the gate was open but got locked in as it’s closed until June 1. I wouldn’t recommend anything bigger than a van as the roads a bit dicey on the way up but going slow in our transit we had not issues. Great spot if you have dogs.

was thinking about stopping but saw the lots are directly next to a fairly busy road, as well as being very close to each other. seemed pretty overpriced ($38 min) for that sort of lack of privacy. 30 mins up the road there is free dispersed camping in the forest :)

This gas station has water, which is potable according to the employees. Coming from Puno just drive to the end of the gas station and there is a sign “agua” besides “aire”.

Sites were full. one had a fallen tree in it. Road was dry, hard-packed dirt, with many potholes. only one car wide, but there are pullouts. I drove to the end of the road and boat launch. No cars/trucks/trailers, boats or people here. 3:30pm on Thursday. weekend would be busier. I found a level spot at the back of boat launch and stayed one night.

You are really exposed here. I have a feeling this is one of those show up late leave early spots. Definitely not an arrive at 4:30 pm one.

Parking space right in the city, right next to the church. We were here on a Thursday and it was quiet at night. We felt safe.

Still here. There's a well under the yellow sign that says "Agua potable". Perfectly clean water. Great!

It's kind of an open air water reservoir. Water looked clean but there was no one there to ask so we went on. But if you are low on water, you can definitely fill up here.
