We spent a quiet and cold night here. Police drove by twice but said nothing. It is important to enter the park early as the crater was clouded at 9.30!

Report Check-In

We stayed at the "Service" road next to the entrance. Very quiet and not windy because we were protected by the trees. We were Lucky with the view of the volcano although it was 2:00 pm and rainy Season. The clouds were around the Peak but the crater was clear. I would Check at the entrance and ask the rangers if the view is clear or not. Entrance is really expensive 15$ pp + 3$ for the vehicle. But we found it was worth it.

Clean toilets can be used in the park the next morning. Admission to nationalpark: US $ 10 / person plus US $ 3 / vehicle.$
