Copec La Serena Ruta 5 Norte

This large Copec station sits right on Ruta 5 Norte as it passes through La Serena, making it a natural fuel and resupply stop for overlanders heading to the Atacama or returning south. Clean restrooms, convenience store with basic supplies, and reliable diesel and gasoline. Gets busy with tour buses and local traffic during peak hours, but multiple pumps keep lines moving.

Easy highway access with good maneuvering room for larger rigs. Open 24 hours with credit card acceptance. Stock up here before heading into the Atacama—next reliable fuel is hours away in smaller towns with limited supplies.

Pan-American Highway fuel before Atacama routes.
