Yes — the guide typically handles and pays entrance fees at the Sulphur Springs and waterfall, but bring small cash for market purchases and tips.
The tour is family-friendly and low-intensity, but pregnant visitors should not bathe in the hot springs; children should be supervised around thermal areas and pools.
