Something not right?
Description
Hotel and campsite. One of the best tent camping spots we found in Bolivia. Grass, a fire ring and a covered common area with power. Vehicles have a "reasonly flat" spot available close to the hostel area, just within wifi coverage, but right at the entrance of the hostel and kind a walktrough your camper van. Not too recommend for overlanders.
Lots of bugs, but blissfully warm temperatures relative to La Paz. The restaurant is reasonably priced and has a good reputation for German food. The surrounding property is huge, and is dotted with cabins that sleep 3-8 people. At the end of a narrow dirt road with no good turn arounds. Big rigs may have trouble. When wet, you probably need 4x4. (Update: a 2wd will do it for sure)

Latest Check-Ins
Beautiful place, but not recommended for van camping!
There is only a small space next to the entrance. (Toyota 4Runner with roof tent had hardly any space).
50BOB pp are very overpriced for the mini space you get. No kitchen. WiFi works poorly, at the car virtually never reception.
Approach difficult, but was doable with 2x4.
Very fancy nice stay. They have different lodges/rooms/little houses affailable. Was quite expensive. We were in casa verde and it costs us 310 Bolivianos. Was a little lodge with single bed and double bed and private bathroom. They have cheaper options but is was all booked. There’s a restaurant, but food is not included. Nice pools and miradors.
Report Check-InBig and nice Hostal, has safe parking for motorbikes and cars, i got a double room with shared bathroom for $80 Bs x 10 days, long stay.
The price is negotiable, she started at $100 Bs.
The staff are very kind.
The location is perfect if you want contact white nature. is far to the touristic pleases and restaurant.
I highly recommend the place!!!
Report Check-InEverything like describe below, very nice for bikers but not for car campers. 50 bol p/p expensive for a bad parking place, but the only place we found in this town!
Report Check-InAfter the positive reviews we were a tiny bit disappointed of the hostal itself. One pool was not usable because it was dirty, the communal area is ok to hang out (hammocks, couch, etc.) but not much of a view. Toilet (flush / with TP) clean and shower with hot water (ok clean).
Definitely a challenge to level the car, we JUST fitted with our truck camper (6m long, 3.1m high) and be prepared for a very narrow, bumpy drive through Coroico to the parking with some steep sections.Again, we JUST fitted under the branches of the trees and bamboos with our height 3.1m and width of 2.2m!!
steep and dirt road to access this point. 50bob pp to sleep in front of the hotel.
not very flat, we moved...
Report Check-InBeautiful place. No camping possible in the rainy season. They want you to use the dormitorio (80bol/p). No bargaining possible. Road is okay, not recommended for big rigs...car will not have a problem. It's very fine for a 2wd in the rainy season.
Report Check-InChecked out the place today.
It is not easy to reach, don't try with big rigs or old vans without a lot of horsepower. Not really 4x4 needed but steep and narrow as well as a bit muddy.
There is only one parking which is more or less leveled but directly at the entrance and at a quite shady place.
Restaurant and pool area looked relaxing. Bathrooms were ok but not great.
For overlanders with cars I wouldn't recommend this place.
45bob per person for camping, there is just one (with the help of a nearby rock) flat spot for parking though. A bit tight, but we managed to open our rooftop tent, no problem with that.
Wifi works 30% of the time, but I would not expect too much - it's yungas after all. Showers nice and hot. Overall a good stay for a night or two :)
We would not call this a level parking spot. It is VERY hard to level out a car. We can not recommend this hotel for overlanders who want to sleep in their car. (But the hotel is beautiful)
Report Check-InFriendly hostel with a lawn for tents (not accessible by car) and a few parking spaces juist outside for vehicles. No level places. Extremely steep access road: we had to use low range to climb up. BOB 90 (2 adults, camper).
Report Check-InNot worth driving up this steep road, to find this place what is not recommendable for overlanders sleeping in their own car. Not level, guests walking almost trough your car...
90 Bol for the two of us is by the side much to much for Bolivia.
We can not recommend!
As others say... Fantastic place. They even got a small pool at the edge of a plateaux and a yoga studio :)
But yeah, the WiFi is next to useless and gets turned off in the evening when the reception closes.
And the mattresses in the dorm rooms where a bit worn out.
And no bugs to speak of when I was here.
Edit: Ok, do the last night I was there, I got a bit bitten :-/
Report Check-InVery nice place indeed.
Road up here can be a bit slippy after rain.
45B
Wifi available but doesn't really work.
Share room 70bol, good although pricey food. Wifi ends at 8pm, it's not very good anyway. No level parking really . Good beds
Report Check-InLovely campsite. Parked in bay one but as we were out of season, not too many people passed the van. 80 Bob a night for three or more nights.
Report Check-InWe stayed in a room here, the Verde room, for 120 bol per person with private outdoor bathroom and hot shower. The grounds and views are gorgeous! Restaurant is very good. We opted not to camp in our rooftop tent because there is only one level parking spot (spot #1) which is not private - it's right next to the entryway to reception and the restaurant. We felt we'd be in the way here, but enclosed rigs would be ok. While we were there (2 nights), Wifi was very slow. Water is potable since its from a spring. Great for filling up water tanks.
Report Check-InJust one flat spot for parking- end with an wildcamp on the way back 2 town
Report Check-InWe stayed in a cabin, but the upper park ground is a nice spot for smaller rigs. No height restrictions though. It's quite steep in some places.
Report Check-InNice place to rest for a few days or walk around. Space for bikes and carpark, swimingpool and internet.
Report Check-InTop place for moto travelers with tents. Two nights was not enough. Recommended.
Report Check-In- 40 BOB per person
- nice hosteria offering rooms and tent camping (unfortunately far from the parking lot and not accesible by vehicle)
- good restaurant serving local and German food (pretty good, but expensive for Bolivia)
- slow wifi (3G powered) and for some reason available only between 9am-8pm
- hot showers
- large tropical garden on a hill
- two nice pools
- common area with seating and hammocks
- campers have to stay at the parking lot - we were on the top one, parking spot #1, right next to the entrance - almost level, you can catch wifi here
- only for smaller vehicles, very limited space, would be hard (or impossible) to turn around here with a larger truck and the access road is long and rough
One of the best camping spots we found in Bolivia. Grass, a fire ring, a covered common area with power and the best wifi we found in Bolivia. Lots of bugs, but blissfully warm temperatures relative to La Paz. The restaurant was reasonably priced, but we never tried the food. The surrounding property is huge, and is dotted with large cabins that sleep 3-8 people.
