Estación de Servicio Shell Neiva Centro

This Shell station anchors downtown Neiva’s main commercial strip, serving as the last reliable fuel stop before heading into the Tatacoa Desert. Six pumps handle gasoline and diesel, with a well-stocked convenience store carrying basic automotive fluids, snacks, and cold drinks. Clean restrooms and covered pump areas provide relief from the desert heat. The attached service bay offers basic tire repairs and oil changes during business hours.

Located on Carrera 5 near the main plaza, it’s easily accessible for larger rigs heading south toward Villavieja and the red zones of Tatacoa. Staff speak basic English and are familiar with overlander needs. Operates 24 hours, though service bay closes at 6 PM. Credit cards accepted, but carry pesos as a backup — desert towns ahead are cash-only.
