We'd heard that you could get to this place for 40,000 one way. The day before we took a different cab for 50,000 for an hour drive. But when we called the hotel and asked them if they could help us arrange transportation, they passed us the contact of a buddy and quoted us 200,000. With that price, the transportation would be more than the room.
I called the guy to see what he'd say. I asked him how much it'd be and he said 190,000. I said that was high, and he immediately lowered it to 150,000. I didn't even push hard and he could tell I was a foreigner with my spanish. The price should definitely be much lower than 150,000 too.
We never ended up going to the hotel. It's not like they don't know how much it should cost to get there. It shows a lack of integrity for them to give us such a bad quote.
