We used John for all of his services and he was outstanding. Camping facility has everything you need as long as your vehicle fits, John has worked very hard to refine the TIP extension process and it is now very smooth thanks to him and he has recommendations and contacts for all types of services overlanders need. His place can get busy so reach out and book in advance. He also has put together a network of other providers in other countries to support overlanders - reach out to John, you won’t be disappointed

We left our van with John for 10 days as we were going away for a few days. Everything was great & John and his mother were very friendly! John was also able to help us by phone during a corrupt police stop. John is always happy to help travelers and has lots of tips for a great trip to Peru. Thank you for that.

We stored our motorhome by John for about a month. He did all the paperwork for the suspension while we were traveling back to Europe. He answered all our WhatsApp messages very fast and he was always very helpful. Thanks to John for his good job!

We spent a few days at John's campsite while exploring Lima. There is space for 3 smaller vehicles in the garage. There are several bathrooms so everyone has their own. There is also a roof terrace with a grill. Everything is clean and the shower has hot water.
John and his mother are very friendly. John speaks very good English and has endless travel tips for Peru. Together with him we went to a viewpoint close to his home where he explained a lot about the city.
We really enjoyed our time there.

wow John is a cool guy I give him a ring in the morning wanted to stop for a few day's, no problem at all, he showed me around a bit of lima and even helped me get a little repair on bracket, he even helped with the crooked cops situation as I had photographic evidence of the policeman and his vehicle to help to try and stamp it out 👍👍 you can even get your washing done at the end of the Street which is pretty cheap too , I would definitely stay again, thanks John ..

John and El Tip Viajero were amazing! I left my motorcycle here for 2 months while I went back to the US. The storage is indoors and super secure. John took care of my motorcycle import permit suspension and restart paperwork. I also stayed a night at his family's apartment which is within the parking garage which was comfortable and had a hot shower. John is super quick with communications, he speaks both Spanish and English fluently. I plan to return to El Tip Viajero on my return trip through Peru.

John is an amazing host. We've spent New Year together, and he showed us a cool spot to watch the fireworks. He is super friendly, talkative, and knowledgeable.

The "camping" itself is a garage. Our biggest challenge was the lack of sunlight to power our systems. We have a truck camper and we barely fit in width-wise. We managed to raise our pop-top roof if we positioned ourselves perfectly between the support pillars and ceiling lamps. Water, bathrooms, electricity, good wifi.

John helped us suspend our TIP while we went to Europe to deal with a family business. He is a true magician who can convince SUNAT/Aduanas to do stuff they don't feel like doing.

If you are around ask John about his VW Bug :)

We stayed here for 2 nights. It is in a garage and max 2 cars can fit behind each other. It Is safe and quiet at night. Check beforehand if there is availability and if your car fits (height and width). Toilet and hot shower available, non-potable water as well. Good Wi-Fi. John is super friendly and enthusiastic and he knows a lot and can help with a lot. The laundry nearby was good and fast. The ceviche restaurant is open daily 10am til 17pm. With a taxi/Uber we went to the city in 15-20 minutes.. We paid 60 soles/night for 2 people in a Sprinter. Also storage is possible. When we arrived, John was travelling, so his Mum welcomed us and explained everything. John was always available via WhatsApp and he speaks good English.

This is one of the best campsite in Lima. They have Airbnb , secure parking for your RV with toilet, hot shower and big area which we put our table and chairs.. John and his family are very friendly hosts and he will send you links to any places you which to go.. there's a big shopping mall for groceries and food court nearby. Laundry nearby plus if you want to service your RV, there plenty of good mechanics nearby. the campsite is near Lima main tourist attractions. John brought us in his car to see the mountain top.. it's awesomely stunning and beautiful beyond words. Highly recommend to stay in John place when you visit Lima .. Dr Peter from Singapore

Nous sommes restés 3 nuits chez John. Il nous a été d’un grand secours pour réceptionner un frigo en provenance d’Europe.
De plus si vous aimez les villes, il est de très bon conseil et vous donnera tous les tips. Et si vous avez d’autres achats à faire, il vous aiguillera.
Si vous avez un problème avec les autorités, il pourra également vous aider, il est avocat.
Notre véhicule fait 3,05 de haut avons pu être en tout sécurité à l’intérieur du bâtiment.

El propietario John y su familia son tan cariñosos y nos hacen sentir como en casa que descansamos completamente en su casa durante 13 noches. Cansado de conducir de Máncora a Lima y no pude encontrar ningún camping en Lima. Los últimos minutos encontraron a John y él hizo que nuestra estancia fuera tan HOGAR. Este lugar está muy cerca del gran supermercado Plaza Norte, fácil acceso al centro de Lima y al centro de la ciudad y una hermosa vista turística. UNA gran ventaja es que hay muchos mecánicos de automóviles y talleres de neumáticos. John tiene habitaciones en Airbnb y estacionamientos para vehículos recreativos con ducha de agua caliente y baños limpios. Ya seas ciclista, moto, furgoneta o mochilero, tenemos la habitación o el camping perfecto para ti. Envía un mensaje a John antes de llegar. Su whatsApp es +51 941 483 585.

We stayed with John and his family and enjoyed it greatly. On the second day we were invited to the family Sunday picnic on the barbecue outdoor area of the camping. It was so nice to hear about life in Peru and as nearly everybody spoke English we learnt a lot.

The camping is inside, there is a clean bathroom with shower and on the second floor an outside sitting area with a barbecue.

We went to Switzerland for one month and we left our camper in the safe storage of John to whom we are immensely grateful for the help with the temporary suspension of the tip with SUNAT.

We'd like to thank John and his mother for all the time they supported us. We came as strangers and left as friends.

Fue una muy buena experiencia en Lima, realmente es el mejor lugar para quedarse allí, cuenta con espacio para un carro grande, baño y ducha caliente, muy limpios, el espacio de BBQ aun está en construcción pero es acogedor, muy cerca se encuentran tiendas, panaderías, lavandería, talleres y el aeropuerto. En cuanto a la hospitalidad, Jhon es una persona muy amable, siempre atento a lo que se necesite, siempre que necesitamos algo o ubicación nos daba referencias o nos guiaba, su madre también estuvo muy pendiente de la estadía.

We spent two nights at John’s who’s incredibly welcoming and helpful and gave us a lot of information about visiting Peru and Lima.
There wasn’t space for us in the garage so John offered us to sleep in the bunk beds in the apartment and leave the car at a secured parking for the night. You can park in front of the house during the day.
As you can see on the photos it’s not a campground per se since the space to sleep in a van/rooftop is in a garage on the ground floor. If you are in a high car with rooftent you might not be able to open it. Check with John to see if there is space.
The entire house is an airbnb home so you can book an apartment with 2 bedrooms or a room and then share the common spaces and bathroom. There is one room with 2 bunkbeds and one with a double bed.
There is a barbecue space and lounge area in works on the roof for people sleeping in the garage.
It’s a safe residential neighborhood that has a lot of shops, market, restaurants and more.

Good place to stay and leave you car. If you want to service you car this is a good area. The traffic is a bit of a challenge. John has a wealth of information so ask him and he is happy to assist. Place is clean. But there is limited space so ask before arriving. Highly recommended.

John’s place close to the city

John era nuestro ángel guardián. Lo confirmo sin exageración.
Primero, la bienvenida fue fácil y agradable. La ubicación está limpia y en un área muy segura.
Hay una ducha y un lavabo, así como habitación si lo necesitas.
El contacto es fácil con John y toda su familia
John ven para nosotros primero nos mostró La Milla, es una enorme montaña cerca de aquí, donde la vista es increíble en la ciudad.
Incluso nos ayudó a publicar una caja en Canadá, necesitábamos ayuda porque el trabajador de Correos peruanos al principio no era muy conveniente y John vino a nuestro rescate.
También llegamos en tiempos de crisis política y estado de emergencia y Juan fue increíblemente útil.
Cuando intentamos salir del país por tierra, John contactó con sus conocidos para dirigirnos a las carreteras correctas donde no había barreras. Tan pronto como tuvimos una preocupación lingüística, nos fue fácil llamar a John y nos tradujo al interlocutor. Fue una gran ayuda en estos tiempos de emergencia. No logramos salir del Perú, así que volvimos a John y decidimos almacenar nuestro vehículo en su casa a medida que la situación va. John es abogado por comercio, y también es bilingüe. Se encargaron de “suspender nuestro TIP” y le pidieron que se hiciera una hora de porque es un largo proceso y los llamaba todos los días para acelerar el proceso
Todo fue una aventura lo que terminó bien. El día antes de irnos, tuvimos el honor de ser invitados a la mesa de la familia de John para compartir una maravillosa comida en honor al cumpleaños de su madre, que es también una verdadera perla, así como su hija y esposa

Gracias John y esperamos volver a vernos cuando volvamos a recoger nuestro camper

John fut notre ange gardien. Je confirme ceci sans exagération.
Tout d’abord l’accueil a été facile et agréable. L’emplacement est propre et dans un secteur très sécuritaire.
Il y a douche et lavabo ainsi que des chambre si vous avez besoin.
Le contact est facile avec John ainsi que toute sa famille
John a fait beaucoup pour nous tout d’abord il nous a fait visiter La Milla, c’est une gigantesque montagne tout près d’ici, où la vue est incroyable sur la City.
Il nous a même aidé à poster une boîte au Canada, nous avions besoin d’aide car la préposée a Pérou-Poste au début n’était pas très commode et John est venu à notre rescousse.
Aussi Nous sommes arrivés en temps de Crise Politique et État d’urgence et John a été d’une aide incroyable.
Quand nous avons tenté de sortir par voie terrestre du pays, John contactait ses connaissance afin de nous diriger vers les bonnes route où il n’y avait pas de barrages routiers. Dès que nous avions un souci linguistique il nous était facile de téléphoner John et celui-ci traduisait pour nous à l’interlocuteur. C’était des plus aidant en ces temps d’Etat d’urgence. Nous n’avons pas réussi à sortir du Pérou nous sommes donc revenus chez John et avons décidé d’entreposer notre vehicle chez lui le temps que la situation se passe. John est avocat de métier, il est aussi bilingue. Ils s’est occupé de « suspendre notre TIP » celui-ci lui a demandé beaucoup de temps car c’est un long processus et il les téléphonait à chaque jour pour accélérer le processus
Ce fut tout aventure qui s’est bien clôturer. La veille de notre départ nous avons eu l’honneur d’être invité à la table familiale de John pour partager un merveilleux repas en l’honneur de l’anniversaire de sa mère qui elle aussi est une véritable perle tout comme sa fille et son épouse

Merci John et au plaisir de se voir de nouveau quand nous reviendront chercher notre camper

John was our guardian angel. I confirm this without exaggeration.
First, the welcome was easy and pleasant. The location is clean and in a very safe area.
There is a shower and sink as well as room if you need.
Contact is easy with John and his whole family
John did a lot for us first he showed us La Milla, it’s a huge mountain near here, where the view is amazing on the City.
He even helped us post a box in Canada, we needed help because the Peruvian Post worker at the beginning was not very convenient and John came to our rescue.
Also We arrived in times of Political Crisis and State of Emergency and John was incredibly helpful.
When we tried to get out of the country by land, John contacted his acquaintances to direct us to the right roads where there were no roadblocks. As soon as we had a language concern, it was easy for us to call John and he translated for us to the interlocutor. It was a great help in these times of state of emergency. We did not manage to get out of Peru, so we returned to John and decided to store our vehicle at his house as the situation goes. John is a lawyer by trade, and he is also bilingual. They took care of “suspending our TIP” and asked him a lot of time because it is a long process and he phoned them every day to speed up the process
It was all adventure that ended well. The day before we left, we had the honor of being invited to John’s family table to share a wonderful meal in honor of his mother’s birthday, who is also a true pearl, as well as his daughter and wife

Thank you John and look forward to seeing each other again when we come back to pick up our camper

We stayed here for 4 nights and explored Lima from here with the Uber. It is in the northern part of the city. John, the owner, was super nice and gave us a lot of information about the city and Peru. He is absolutely passionate about traveling and travelers. The money he earns with his 'campground' goes into his wish to buy a campervan and travel with his wife and daughter trough Europe. He has a big network and speaks English very well so he can help you with a lot if needed. There is high speed wifi, hot shower and toilet, very clean. A big plaza Vea is very close by, as are many other small shops and restaurants. The street is gated, so the only traffic is the people that live in the street and pedestrians. For a big city very quiet at night. Not every neighborhood is safe in Lima, so besides Barranca and Miraflores, which are very nice to walk around in and have a drink or some food, we recommend to take the Uber for safety.

We had a great stay here while staying in Lima. Our Fiat Ducato fitted perfectly. There is a hot shower and great WiFi! John was a wonderful host and took us to a delicious restaurant. He had lots of tips for our travel through Peru, because he too travelled a lot! We can recommend highly to stay here while in Lima!

I had a medical emergency in Lima and John and his family went above and beyond to get me medical care, store my rig, and suspend my TIP. Highly recommend El Tip Viajero if you need assistance with anything while you’re in Lima.

September 10th, 2022 by elisabethschwarz 

Staying at this place was a special experience. John and his family made me feel very welcome and part of his family. Even after I left, he helped me with very useful information
Through him I saw more of Lima than I would have otherwise. Thanks a lot John

John is an amazing host who really helped us to discover Lima. We stayed 4 nights in his garage. Nice bathroom with toilet / Electricity and super wifi. Price is 15 usd pn. If you need anything in Lima, John knows a place to go. He takes his time to talk with you and give any advice you need. The street have locked gates at night. Uber works great in Lima, it’s way cheaper than just a normal taxi.

An unbelieavable experience! John Sánchez is an incredible host with a big heart and a passion for travellers. We would have been totally lost in Lima without his advice and support. He assisted us with resolving a number of technical issues with our car and introduced us to the real Lima.
John and his family reached out to us and really made us feel very welcome, through them we experienced big city hospitality that we will not forget.

May 31st, 2022 by @Edu.e.Carol 

Jhon the owner received us very well, the place is a car garage and it is possible to park a medium-sized motorhome, you need to contact us first to confirm. It has a clean bathroom with a hot shower, the internet is a little slow but when we needed more speed he took us to his house to use it and it was extremely fast. Jhon also gave us several tips on places to visit both in Lima and in the region, and added us to a group of travelers that has helped us a lot.

Estuvimos una noche alojados muy cómodos y a gusto. Wifi de alta velocidad, ducha caliente, cocina completa, living y terraza equipada para pasar una linda tarde de relax. John y su flia son excelentes personas, nos asesoraron perfectamente en todo lo que necesitábamos saber y más. Además, John es muy diligente y nos resolvió dónde podíamos cambiar el aceite y filtros del vehículo en un lubricentro de confianza. Sinceramente, es reconfortante saber que uno puede ir a lima y tener un lugar donde parar con tu vehículo carrozado y estar seguro y relajado en una ciudad tan caótica. Muchas gracias John y flia!

(Traducido por Google) Gran garaje para guardar su camioneta. Puede quedarse en su camioneta y tener acceso a cocina y baños limpios. Según tengo entendido, también hay habitaciones que puedes alquilar.

John y su familia son muy acogedores, amables y serviciales. Se tomaron su tiempo para mostrarme Lima y me dieron muchos consejos y recomendaciones. ¡Hola, Juan! Fue muy agradable haberte conocido a ti y a tu familia.

(Original)

Big garage to store your van in. You can stay in your van and have access to clean kitchen and bathrooms. As I understand there are as well rooms you can rent.

John and his family are very welcoming, nice and helpful. They took their time to show me around Lima and gave me lots of tips and recommendations. Hi John! It was very nice to have met you and your family.

(Traducido por Google) Tuve una emergencia de salud mientras viajaba por Lima y John y su familia hicieron todo lo posible para que tuviera acceso a la atención médica y luego me comunicaron con mi familia mientras estaba en la UCI. Luego, cuando necesitaba regresar a casa para recuperarme, John me ayudó a navegar el proceso de suspensión del TIP y me proporcionó un almacenamiento seguro para mi vehículo hasta que pudiera reanudar mis viajes. Muy recomendable.

Estábamos buscando un lugar para estacionar nuestro RV durante unas semanas.

John tenía exactamente lo que necesitábamos en oferta.

Entonces acepté, conduje hasta allí, entregué el vehículo y el equipaje y partimos.

Después de nuestra estadía, nos reorganizamos y seguimos adelante.

Pudimos aparcar nuestro vehículo de forma económica y segura.

Además, recibimos mucha información para nuestro próximo viaje.

gracias juan

So konnten wir unser Fahrzeug günstig und sicher abstellen.

Zusätzlich haben wir noch viele Informationen für unsere weitere Reise erhalten.

Danke John
