Laberinto El Cusco | Established Campground

November 21st, 2023 by roundaboutwest

Stunning views of the red desert. We loved staying here although the toilets aren't great and the shower is a pipe from the ceiling with cold water. which is ok seeing that it was around 30 degree. Some tourist groups walk by every now and then, taking pics of the desert and of your set up. But all friendly and tranquillo. Paid 25000 per night, two people in a rooftop tent.

Stayed here for one night, amazing view to the red valley and close to one observatory (which thay said is open, but wasn't that night, but according to reviews is working, so don't know what happened). Clean toilet, shower lukewarm from the sun. You can enter the bathroom via restaurant but there is a side gate which they said is open during a night. But after 21h the restaurant was closed and the side gate too! So, no toilet during the night. Paid 25000cop/2ppn.

Best views you’ll have from a campground in Tatacoa. The guy who welcomed us said at first they charged 30000cop for 2 person but when I said I had friends paying 25 he said ok.
Cold shower and running toilet, clean. From here you can walk all the way in the valley and come out in front of the observatory.
Very nice cats and dogs at the campground

Great view, clean toilets and showers (very tight though) Family who runs the place (restaurant and campsite/ cabanas) not very friendly or welcoming.
Can be very muddy when rains. We got stuck and besides the parking guy (who we asked to help) nobody came out to help.
Paid 25.000 for 2 persons and the van.

Best place in Desertio de la Tatacoa to spend the night (legally), as it is just at the entrance to the red zone (Laberinto Cusco). You can camp with a great view.
The "patron" is not friendly at all and only interested in earning money and do nothing. Toilets not very clean, but ok.
Still, absolutely to recommend!

We stayed for one night and felt safe. We paid 25'000 COP for two persons one night. The old man is still unfriendly. Pro: Your van is standing directly in front of the red dessert with a direct walking access. Clean toilets and showers. Con: A lot mosquitos.

Safe.

Perfect place to stay in the desert with amazing views. Payed 8000.- per person, doesn’t matter if you are in a van or tent. Showers are not cold as the water is heated up during the day. Safe place, could sleep with all doors open.

They ask 9.000pppn now. Baths are cleans. Water only 6 to 9pm and 6 to 9am. The eletricity (all city) is the sun, so air conditioning doesn't work. Nice overview.

Best option to camp in the area. They have a nice view of the desert (others we visit don’t). Shower and toilets were ok. Paid 16.000 pesos for 2 people + Car.

Super nice place! Great overview over the desert. No lights in the night at infrastructure and restaurant - bring your headlamp and enjoy the stars.

October 23rd, 2019 by fierydruid

Cold shower, toilets, no light at night so bring your headlamp. Area has midges and mosquitoes though not swarms of them. We paid 10k for both of us and our van. Start of red valley hike

August 13th, 2019 by tinu.flamingo

The view is amazing but the owner women is very unfriendly. The new price is 8000 pp.

August 1st, 2019 by Limkoverlanding

Nice photo zone for your rig setup. Shower and toilet available. Hella hot in daytime but cool breeze in the night.

Parqueamos para pasar la noche allí, nos cobraron $7000 por persona (dormimos en nuestra van). Excelente vista al desierto y tranquilidad.

Nice but very basic campground. The views are worth it. We could pitch our tent directly at the rim to the desert.
For the tent they charged 7000pp.

August 24th, 2018 by beingcaribou

Very basic camping with great views over the red desert. You can camp right at the edge of the canyon. Basic amenities were clean but very small. Cold shower. Charged 10'000 pp/pn. Restaurant was closed because we were the only guests.

Sandy terrain with some trees and pinnacle for shadow with great view over the red rocks formations. Trail into the valley from the campground. Basic facilities. COP 14000 (2 adults, camper).

Stay there on a Friday night, and no noise, no party at all! Perfect. Cold shower, toilet, beer a 2500pesos.
5000pp for camping. The only downside is the situation, everyone can enter and pass in the camping... we didn't feel comfortable to let the tent alone while people pass by all day.
Nice view and friendly owner. There are rooms too.

We stayed a night here. It's right on the Red desert and has a cool view of the little canyon. But this seems to be a big tourist spot and so there is a TON of foot traffic through the camping area, along with road traffic. We thought it would be a bit more off the road and away from people, but it's not. We stayed a night and then moved to Los Hoyos and we would highly recommend just stopping here and getting some pictures and then get deeper into the desert! Los hoyos was awesome

August 24th, 2016 by Manfred Thum

For us the best place to stay. Parked direct at the canyon. Paid 5000 p.P. Like everybody described before: Basic, but o.k. looked at other places around:
Advertise "piscina" but not worth to go in...because of dirty or missing water.....but want more money. Dont miss a visit from the little Observatorium just at the other site of the road. We visited it thursday evening 7.30 pm. Paid10.000 p. P. Yes, it was bilingual !! nice evening , and we could see the ring of Saturn...!!!
Was the highlight from the tatacoa visit!

P.S....the campground had Water the whole day!!!! Other, more expansive places, didn't have had Water......

In our opinion, this place has the best view into the desert. We were happy to pay the small camping fee!

Stayed there at Saturday and can´t say we enjoyed it as it was painfuly loud. There was traffic (motorbikes, 3 big buses, some trucks) until 10 PM and three families from Bogota, which went to sleep around midnight only to resume shouting at 6 AM.

Our advice: go there only during weekdays and if you´re desperate for hotish water and toilets, otherwise wild camp at the desert.

Paid 5000 COP per person.

May 28th, 2015 by smboilerworks.com

5,000 per person per night. We were without water for 24 hours. It was repaired but not same day so toilets were icky in morning. The family left when no water so very quiet and no generator. First night generator until 10pm. Stellar view. Security for tent and motorcycle camping rated low as many come here and walk through property to enjoy view but owner not around so no one keeping an eye on things.

March 9th, 2015 by panamericana-live.de

Beautiful view over the Cañon de Cusco. We paid 8.000 COP/2 persons without use of sanitaries. Overnight still very hot, temperature didn't drop below 30 C!

November 18th, 2014 by Landcruising Adventure

Great views, lovely shower with a fat stream of water out of a pipe. Paid 4.000 pp. great place to set up the rtt and awning and relax, work, hike, do laundry. Water drank the water from the well.

November 8th, 2014 by jennifer.sparks

Charged us 10k for 2 adults and one child camping in our vehicle.

October 26th, 2014 by gringorick

We paid 4k per person incuded bathroom. They also have cold showers but we did not use them. Very quiet.

August 16th, 2014 by Song of the Road

This is a combo restaurant and camping area with amazing views of the red desert. 6000 a person, totally worth it! Free camping options all over, but the view here was great.

October 1st, 2012 by henryreisen.ch

Overnight brilliant place overlooking the barren desert landscape. Toilets and showers available, otherwise no infrastructure. Everyone wants to visit Colombians's Camper. We then irgandwann times no and told privado .. from 20.00 clock at night it is very quiet. (The generator is turned off) COP 5000 -. / 2 nights without toilets + showers.

Available only through Neiva. In Neiva by asking, since the signs for the desert missing.
