The man at the entrance changed the hours and wouldn't let us in. We arrived at 11:00 am, and he also wouldn't let us camp with tents because he said we had to make a reservation through the Ministry of Tourism. This is the third time we've tried to go up, and they keep changing the hours. I checked the Montecristo National Park website, and it doesn't mention anything about reservations.
