It is common for local residents to offer assistance with items you carry and subsequently ask for a tip. Tipping should be voluntary and at your discretion. To simplify the process and avoid solicitations, we highly recommend ascending the volcano without any personal items—just go in the clothes you intend to enter the mud with.

Great Experience
Cesar was an amazing host! Everything was great. They fed us empanadas with a beverage after everything. They will charge $3 for the ladies to wash you off then $3 for holding your phones, taking pictures, holding towels, and shoes so make sure you bring cash. Overall it was a great once in a lifetime experience! Thanks Cesar!
