Something not right?

Description

Arriving on a busy sunday we had to pay 10000.-/p.p. to enter the indigena area south (volcano) and east from here. As well you have to hire a guide (35000.-/day) if you intend to see the sights like lookouts, waterfalls and so on. Either you take the guide into your vehicle or he follows you with his motorbike. If you head further east you will enter the Purace NP. On its official website foreigners have to pay 23000.-/p.p. entrance fee. The indigenas told us that we do NOT have to pay this fee. We do not know what is true because we decided to skip this Circus and head back to Popayan. If you tell them that you are heading straight to La Plata in the east without stopping you are excempt from these fees. The indigenas were patroling the area, so chances that you would get seen while visiting the sights (illegally) were high. In our opinion this is just a profitable and easy way to make some money, something we did not want to support.

Report Check-In

From the 1st of June 2017 the price for foreigners is 40000 in the weekends and 20000 during the week (after bargaining). They (the indigenous council) alleged the increase of the price was because there was too much people coming and they were destroying the nature and the money they collect wasn't enough to do maintenance. The ranger told us that now they receive 10 times less people, do the math.
