ADMIN NOTE: this place closed as per owner.
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.
sorry my place is permanent close. thank for your good comments but now we have to close because not space aviable.
Report Check-InVery good place to stay for visiting Cajamarca, Banos and surrounding. We confirm all the positive notes of before. We also parked here our van for three month (2 dollars per day) and Ricardo made for us all the process with the customs to suspand our temporary importation visa and fly back in Italy for three month. Everything was O. K.
Report Check-InThese are the coordinates for the new place. The old one is closed!!
The campsite is a 15 minutes walk to Baños and a 1 Sol bus ride from Cajamarca.
There is plenty of space, a toilet , a very cold shower and good wifi. At night the big gate is locked.It will be a good place when it is finished. 15 Soles
The reason why my friends and I stayed for several days is Richard/ Ricardo , the owner, who is an excellent mechanic and does everything at all possible to help his guests: opening his private house for hot showers, solving car problems, giving useful advice and spending hours of his time if needed. This I find more important than lacking facilities.
Ricardo's new location is very nice. We're are his first visitors at his new location. The parking is on a very large ranch owned by his brother in-law and the are also cows of you want to watch them milked. Easy to get to Cajamarca by public transport, and the Baths are working walking distance - 15 minutes. The coordinates posted are for the parking area, however the entrance is via an unmarked street. The coordinates for the street are: -7.165155, -78.474807. Also, the is no sign on the entrance gate either. At the time we visited there was water and a toilet but no shower yet. One issue, the Fairgrounds are close and if there is an event the music, bass and announcements are loud. In our case on Independence Day, the noise didn't end until 4am!

Report Check-InVery good place, nice family ! We spent two nights there after a long ride from Chachapoyas. Ricardo is a really nice guys, had a look on our VW. And teached us many things, and helped us to fix things. We visited Cajamarca, which is nice.
Report Check-InAs you are approaching the site, you will see the big sign for Hotel Tartar. Continue straight onto the dirt road next to the hotel; do not continue left on the paved road. The entrance is at the end of the dirt road, about 150 m.

Report Check-InWe spent two good nights here for 20 soles per car, per night. Ricardo is terrific! There was plenty of very good parking on nice green grass, good hot shower and clean bathrooms. Laundry is available - make sure you ask. Water for refilling our tanks, electricity if you need to plug in, helpful information about the area, easy taxi access to the center market. Everything about this stay was perfect.

Report Check-InWe were here for three days! Great Place, very nice owner. He let us use his workshop.
We can highly recommend it!!
we had a great time here with Ricardo! spent 5 nights here relaxing and doing some much needed repairs to the car which Ricardo and his guys happily helped is with. He did not charge us for his time but of course we had to pay something! bathroom is very clean with HOT shower! short bus ride (s1 per person) to the center. highly recommend his place! paid 25 per night.
Report Check-InCamper bathhouse including hot shower is now completed. For two of us with a van we paid 25 soles per night. Laundry is 6 soles per kilo for wash and dry. Ricardo speaks English, is a mechanic and has a small shop onsite, he helped us with a couple small things on our van. He also provided info on the area attractions and directions. WiFi decent, we used our extender since we were parked near the bathhouse. It is near the airport but no planes at night.
Report Check-InRicardo out of his way to help us. Is putting in a new bathroom (hot shower and toilet) for overlanders – probably ready for use now. Will store rigs long term (impressed with the care he was giving the vehicle that was stored there)
Report Check-Inbetter contact first. +51976917430 watsup. or phone 976917430. look in google maps for rtecnical or ecoruralperu for exact ubication. entrance is in the photo side hotel tartar ground road. between two brick walls
Report Check-InWe WhatsApp called Ricardo first and although he was out of town, he gave us the number for Kimberly, his employee, and we told her when we'd arrive. His wife, Elsa, welcomed us, showed us to bano (no shower) and gave us the WiFi password (which is fast!). Ricardo helped us by phone with a mechanical problem we had by sourcing the part in Lima to be sent here. There is a sani dump on site; when you enter the grassy area through the small gate, on your right there is a metal plate, lift it and you can drain your tanks. There is a water hose next to the house to rinse and/or get water. A 3km walk to the Tottus mall, a bit further to Plaza Vea. Wish we'd been able to meet Ricardo but highly recommend this place. He goes above and beyond. Did laundry for 15s a load and there's a dryer!
Report Check-Inwe stayed 2 nights with Ricardo and had a geest time. Did some workshop on out cruiser and Ricardo assisted with solide advice ( thanks Ricardo) Would surely recommend this place
Report Check-InHeike and Klaus, Alemania. We have been there twice, we always enjoyed our stay. Ricardo is a very friendly and polite Person. He always helps you in any belongings. He has a great knowledge of technical car belongings. The Airport nearby is not such a big problem. Earplugs will help. Facilities: Washing machine, Wifi,Shower and Toilette.
Report Check-InRicardo is absolutely one of the best hosts we have had so far, we felt super welcome and he made us feel at home :) he speaks English too and introduced his whole family to us (his 2 oldest daughters like to practice their English ;)) in the future they will open their house (they will move to another place) for overlanders as well, so there will be a kitchen and shower available. Great place to stay and easy to get to the center. We parked our car in his garage, so we could easily use the toilet.
We uploaded a printscreen of google street view for the directions, as we (too) couldn't find the place. The coordinates in the previous post don't seem to be correct either. Just drive towards the airport, coming from the centre, and when the road splits, take the right lane. Follow the road down to hotel tartar and continue straight onto the dirt road (between the two brick walls) until you drive right onto his hacienda.
Report Check-InAgree with other posts, great place to stay. Lovely grassy spot. There Is a toilet and shower in Ricardos house but not always accessible so you better off if you have your own bathroom on board.
Ricardo is super helpful, we waiting on parts to be shipped from Australia and he phoned DHL in Lima and smoothed things for us.
Supermarket is 2 klm's away. Taxi ride back 3 soles.
This site has a dump spot. Very rare so far!!!
WIFI is good.
Because nobody can find the entrance, here the GPS coordinates of the entrance: -7.148025. -78.487659 (maps.me). Follow the unpaved road between the 2 walls with bricks for about 200m towards the overland point and you find a green gate, behind is the camping. We spent an excellent time there, Ricardo knows a lot about electronics and repaired my LED. Thanks a lot!
Report Check-InWe messaged Ricardo to ask if we could stay and he got back to us very quickly, he is incredibly friendly, helpful, and hospitable. He met us in the city so we could follow him to his place!
Lovely grass area outside, very safe place, gated off. We stayed in his mechanic workshop/shed as it was a bit warmer. Fast wifi, and a toilet (no shower), easy to get to town in a collectivo (5mins, 80centivos).
Ricardo knows a lot about the region and will help you out with your travel plans. He really went out of his way to make us feel comfortable.
Report Check-InBeatiful big green secure area to park near the airport. There is public transport to head the city center and also there are bicicles to rent. Ricardo is the friendly owner, he also is mechanic and knows a lot of VW. You can leave your car for long term. There is electricity and bathroom. We had an excellent time here!
The price is 20 soles per car.
Better if you call or whatsapp him at +51 976 917 430
Going to airport, 2 blocks of a ground street, you will see a gate with 2 palms
