Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
This place is perfect for resting a few days on the Great Divide. We stayed three nights to recover from a stomach ache. To access this place use the gravel road which comes down from Vischongo (or turn right just before the bridge using the paved road from Vishongo). About 200 meters before (or after) the junction, there is a smaller gravel road which leads a little bit down to a gate. Just before the gate, there is a steep trail leading down to the river. Going up and down is difficult especially with heavy bikes, so be careful and maybe dismount some bags. We built a fire pit and enjoyed some nice evenings here. The river is quiet clean so definitely good for a bath and filtering. Grocery’s and everything you need is available in Vishongo just 10-15 minutes by foot. Only downside is, that it is a little colder in the morning because the sun reaches this place quiet late and there is a lot of shade, but if you’re coming from much higher, this shouldn’t be a problem either. The place is not completely hidden from the mainroad, but wasn’t a problem for us. On the second day some fishermen came by but didn’t bother us. Sometimes a lady brings her cows, which are roped on at a “terrace” above this place, but she was really friendly as well and did not care about us or our fire. Claro 4G reception as well, but you should turn off your phone here and just enjoy this beautiful spot!
