We heard border crossings only get easier in South America. We are happy to report this is true. The process seems more dialed in down here. One central building with well marked windows and offices. One official doing one job, no more 15 man teams for one position. From the border, our first stop at Otavalo was an easy drive. We highly recommend these camping areas just outside of the town center:
For a more off the grid (sans wifi) experience – La Luna Hostel
And for the more wifi inclined, make camping reservations at their in town location – El Rincon del Viajero
