IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You don't have to pay anything else.
If it's open, you won't have to walk to El Yeso. Instead, you'll have a 550-meter hike to get to the reservoir, since they closed the direct access and put up a sign.
We recommend bringing your own lunch. There's nowhere to buy food at lunchtime.
