We had to pay the 12 USD per person at the waterfall lodge and didn't even get to the crater lake. We were intercepted beforehand by the rangers who sent us back. They told us again that it was illegal for the lodge to charge entry into this area, that the trail was not their property. Call the tourist police. The lodge is getting richer and it is also a thorn in the side of the rangers and the tourist police.

It is not possible to get there anymore. Halfway through, there was a sign that said „do not enter“ and we had to find a way back down.
