Hey Everyone,
With my financial situation being beyond depresing these days I was hoping there may be some fellow riders out there who woudnt mind me pitching my tent at their place, if of course its on my route down.
basically I m heading through Bolivia, then into chilie Argentina and down to the bottom.
Any offers really welcome
Also I have added a new post on my site

Damn inflation, Dakar Motos went from 24 to 30 in a few month. For 30 you can have a good single room in the Provincia.
Argentina is a big country with few population, so it s fairly easy to find a place to pitch your tent at dawn. You can find showers in service stations. Try to contact local motorcycle clubs before getting to a town, you will almost always find a bed and friendly sincere welcome.

I can t agree more with you, quoting "generosity" is a strange concept, but appearantly it s possible . Anyways, i think the poster is more looking for non monetary generosity, which is far from being rare in Argentina.

campgrounds in Argentina
I want to amend my previous message. You do have to pay for showers in Estaciones de Servicio. About 4 pesos.
The better option is public campgrounds, which cost 2 to 15 pesos . Here is a usefull link : Voydecamping.com.ar - Guia de Camping en Internet
I hope this helps.
