Something not right?
Description
Large restaurant with good cheap food. We ate dinner and parked in front of the restrooms for the night. Quiet except for road noise but off the highway a bit. If you go a few kilometers north you can park next to the tunnel road maintenance building on the north side off the road on the old roadway. This is right before the daily road closure from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday. Your only other option is a crowded dirt road bypass that adds a few more hours to your drive.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.

Paramos para almoçar e acabamos decidindo ficar para passar a noite por conta do movimento da estrada. Comida boa e barata, almoço executivo por COP 18.000 (sopa de entrada + prato principal+ suco). Banheiros bons, foi uma noite tranquila e nos sentimos super seguros, pessoal bem amigável.
