Information
Visitors die every year from river accidents and while caving, so take care. Theft can also
be a problem, with fellow travellers often the culprits.
Despite the 2012 clean up, dope is still around and local police are adept at sniffing out
spliffs. If you're caught with a stash of marijuana (or anything else), the normal practice is
for police to take your passport and fine you US$500.
