This informal camping spot sits along the Coroico River just outside Yolosa village, popular with overlanders who want to decompress after the Death Road’s intensity. The area has level ground for tents or vehicle camping under scattered trees, with the sound of rushing water and views up toward the cloud forest. No facilities — pure dispersed camping with river access for washing up.
Access is via a rough track that branches off the main road near Yolosa. The area can flood during heavy rains, so check conditions. Local kids sometimes offer to watch vehicles for a few bolivianos. Pack out everything — this isn’t an official campground and the community wants to keep it clean.
