Camps in Buenos Aires, Argentina

This was a good list, but might be a bit outdated by now: http://whiteacorn.com/camping/theamericas#downloads Also I have some random sreadsheets that other travelers have passed along. I'll try to dig those out and send over.

Lost World Expedition's list was really useful...until we left Peru ;) Notes from the PanAmerican have a great list, fromAtoB.org, unURBAN Adventures, and Landcruising Adventure has been sharing more of their list recently too.

iPhone app! iPhone app! Or? Can we make this list part of wikioverland.org? There has to be a wiki/spreadsheet plugin. Not that there is anything wrong with google docs... Ok, but seriously, iPhone app? I would buy an iPhone AND enter all the data on Liferemotely.com.

i'd love to integrate into wikioverland.org or some existing site.. anyone know who runs the show over there?

Sam Christiansen - I run WikiOverland and can help you with anything you need. Jessica Mans Are you proposing one enormous list for every single country in Central and South America, or do you want to break it down by country? WO breaks things down by country, and it has a section in every country for exactly the kind of thing you're talking about. Checkout for example http://wikioverland.org/Argentina#Navigation

Dan- I don't know. For the purpose of building a database to connect an iPhone app to, and allowing others to download an use offline, I think one list is best. But, for viewing on wikioverland.org, by country would certainly be more user friendly. Open to suggestions...

Dan Grec - if we can get the camp sites in the database, i think we can split the campsites up any way you think would be best. What I am looking for is a way to query the database on latitude/longitude to get back a campsite list. In addition, I want to be able to export the campsite list to a CSV file so I can use the POI Loader for my garmin.. Although, if we have an iPhone app i'm not sure the garmin step will be necessary because we can do it all there... Dan, maybe we can catch up on e-mail about how we could tie an iphone app into the wiki overland back end? My e-mail is first.last at gmail.

Sounds like a hell of a project: http://thebluetruck-e.blogspot.com/p/overnight-stopps.html

Meriah- You crack me up. You can find really useful boxes at office depot. Just be prepared to say... "they cost HOW much?!" On the medicine list thing... don't worry too much, it's all available and Mexico and cheaper too. Perhaps I should start another thread on favorite gear, as to not hijack this one... On topic... more campground listings I remembered about: http://dare2 go.com/camping.html, and http://nessiesadventures.com/information.html

We used freecampsites.net for our US trip and loved the idea of trying to setup a super user friendly interface like that for CA and SA... maybe even an app.... enough techies among us to make this real...

pawsontour.com (Michel and Ursi) has an extensive list of waypoints in most of Central America they are currently in Costa Rica as we are . They run their site in German and English . For South America 2 nomads.com from holland has thousands of waypoints on their site.

Like Arzu mentioned 2 nomads has a good list, though some spots are boondocks and so e are fairly outdated. Also it is 2 nomads.nl. There is also dare2 go.com owned by Juergen also has spots. We have a page at our site, but it has been neglected (lostworldexpedition.com)

Check at SAMs club. We bought 2 of these 2 years ago and love them. They are a bit heavy though. Don't leave them in the sun or rain and they last longer. http://www.samsclub.com/sams/directors-chair-red/prod17010522.ip

I ordered this one a couple years ago, here in Afghanistan, and its held up well, though the seams are starting to pull, it appears to be only cosmetic damage - and I'm a 250 lb guy https://www.walmart.com/ip/24034110

Kermit Chairs. Highly recommended although we have high back 3 position Eureka chairs. One of them already broke after 5 uses. And at $80 that sucks.mNext time I'll pony up the bucks and go with Kermit.

https://www.facebook.com/192515026080 TravelChair they are American made and damn good quality. Can get them at REI I think not sure about online. We are in Guadalajara and I am not sure you will get here. But we have a friend here that might be able to help. We can ask him. We bought Helinox, the cheapies never last, spend the money and get good ones they will last a life time.

TravelChair is available on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2 buwM8U

N1 08.141 W77 08.739 near Lago de Cocha at Hotel Sandamanoy. Nice hot shower, Wifi and a fantastic view. As far as I remember it was 10.000 COP There is one even closer to the border (near Ipiales), but don't remember if they had wifi: Casa Pastronal (N0 48.335 W77 34.938)

Let's ask iOverlander: http://www.ioverlander.com/places/2807-camping-gamcelat-san-agustin

Or: http://www.ioverlander.com/places/3221-hostal-kundur-chachagui

If you can communicate in spanish, there's a facebook group called Mochileros - Colombia and members there were very helpful recommending places to stay in Colombia. Also Movitur is an organization that helps visitors to the Pasto area find info and camping, you can email them at moviturcolombia@hotmail.com, if you talk to Salome Solarte tell her hi! Good luck!

Ursi Meier oh no! I hope the owner didn't get tired of the ayahuasca stuff. Someone recently died there after taking the drug:(

We just finished the route through the Zumba border crossing and then the drive from Chachapoyas to Cajamarca. It was pretty awesome. Aside from the drive itself the hike to Gocta Falls was fun and cheap, Kuelap was pretty cool too. We wrote up some details in our blog. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or want more details. Good luck! http://cragkungfu.com/cragginwagon/the-mega-drive/

We headed from Huaraz and the Huascaran NP with the Raumondi trees and the Pastoruri Glacier straight to the coast towards Lachay, Lima and Parque Natural Paracas. Lachay is right off the Panam and picture perfect with hills covered in green. Paracas is a great adventure. You can drive through the sanddunes. It's beautiful. Some pictures of the trip are available on www.ritib.ch Regula and Ines

our favorites besides the road itself: Huembo Interpretation Center for birding, especially Colibris Pueblo de los muertos ruins, amazing! Revash ruins, spectacular if you do it up close! Leymebamba museeum La Congona ruin and hike Huaylla Belen Valley, a long drive! Cumbe Mayo Ventanillas de Combayo Swiss Cheesefactory los Alpes in Cajamarca the main road itself is absolutely spectacular, everything you wanna do is far off the main road, we spent a whole month up there to do all we wanted. It is absolutely no problem to find campspots for free. We had wonderful weather, that helps a lot (it was pouring when we crossed into Peru via mountainroad!) we only have the first report up so far, u can check out the pics http://www.pawsontour.com/iea/berichte/Peru/Woche-31-bis-32/woche-31-bis-32.html Let me know if u need/want more info!

Not sure where you want to cross, but if it is at La Balsa, check the status of the road beforehand, especially if it is raining over there. Otherwise we ditto all above mentioned suggestions. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.717300611654163.1073741890.612259192158306&type=3

huilo huilo park in Neltume. Termas de Juan Manquecura in Liquiñe.....

Try these guys for a small cheap camper van. They have a base in Puerto Varas. Besides all the cool stuff in Pucon you can drive south. From Pucon to Puerto Varas drive the Entra Lagos Route and skip Ruta 5. Valdivia is fun with lots of brewery's. Puerto Varas is nice. Cochamo, Rio Puello, Rio Petrohue, in Chiloe dont skip Cucao on the Pacific coast. All the lakes from Pucon down are really beautiful. http://m.wickedsouthamerica.com/

If you go to Puerto octay you should go to Fruitillar and Puerto Varas. Volcan Osorno, Saltos de Petrohue. Hiking in Cochamo Valley.

Too much stuff to do and a very large area... We heard good things about http://www.fishingbariloche.com/wp/ but we never wound up using them (not within our budget). I think Brad did some fly fishing in the area?

I couldn't pinpoint our exact camp spots, but I can recommend this loop for remote lakes. Alumine feels a lot like Big Bear Lake, as far as community and looks. But once you get past that and continue along the loop it gets very empty and remote. The spot where the Rio Lanin enters Lago Alumine is a famous flyfishing spot, but it's about a mile hike from the road. We had a killer camp spot next to a river in between Lago Moquehue and Lago Norquinco, I believe. Spent a few days there. It was just a dirt track taking off into the bamboo shoots and undergrowth near where a river crossed the road. We took it and ended up in a clearing by a bend in the river. You won't be disappointed. There are a lifetime's worth of lakes and rivers to fish in this region!

This picture was taken at the camp spot I'm talking about. We camped a total of 3 or 4 different places along the aforementioned loop. I also wrote a bit about this in this blog: http://www.drivenachodrive.com/2013/03/the-worst-day-of-my-life/

Camping in Valpo? schwierig! Eher Hotel! Besucht bitte vorab dieses fantastische Weingut und füllt den rollenden Weinkeller auf ;) http://www.emiliana.cl/wine-tour/

Thomas, sorry for being late you probably already left valpo. Check out our site www.projetoanima.com for our campong sites list you'll find valpo camping where we stayed and several othrs.

Hotel Bellavista has a campsite - http://www.htbellavista.com/

Or Ursi Meier

We had lessons in Panajachel at this school. Really lovely teachers and staff and lovely outdoor classrooms. http://www.jabeltinamit.com

We loved Corazon Maya in San Pedro on Atitlan.

I grew up in Terrace, so if you decide to take 37, continue past, down the Skeena Valley. Then head north from Terrace through the Nass valley, hooking up again with 37 and north. And take a detour to Stewart too: http://www.hellobc.com/driving-routes/50/nass-valley-and-lava-beds.aspx

https://2 mooseontheloose.com/2014/11/21/el-salvador/ This is what we did, this is 2014, not sure if anything has changed but the hot springs we camped at was amazing. We had the whole facility to ourselves after close, and the property kept an armed guard.

We spent many, many nights in the Hostal Amador Familiar http://www.hostalamadorfamiliar.com/ in Panama City during our Trans-Americas Journey while we were getting our shipping organized. They have a VERY large parking area and may let you camp there before moving into the hostel after your vehicle has shipped. Shared kitchen facilities, cheap laundry and room rates are fantastic. The place is spotless too.

There is a LOT of open land in the West/South West. Called Bureau of Land Management. But as Bob E Sturgeon says, you have to know where to go. And you must be independent as there are no services. There are big Road Atlas maps that show where to go. Lots of times it is fenced, as ranchers use this land for cattle.

Discovery Center in Panama City has lots of stuff, maybe a good place to look there. It's a huge store.

Great Thanks Joost.

The Cranky Croc Hostel might be an option.

Enjoy, Aryeh and Chava. You may want to use the Latin alphabet for you account name... This way other folks will also be able to read your names ;-)
