Fewer visitors passed through the Cabañas’ doors (144,809) last year than in 2010 (159,992), and more than one-third did not pay an entrance fee – either turning up on Tuesdays, when charges are waived, or obtaining a courtesy pass.
Cabañas staff say the hike in entrance fees in July 2010 is probably the major reason for the visitor tally drop. Foreign tourists pay 75 pesos to tour the Cabañas and Mexican nationals 35 pesos.
