Online Scams in Banos

Prepaid online tour with no record and no refund

Some Banos agencies take online or advance payment for canyoning and jungle tours, then have no record of the booking when you arrive and refuse to refund. One documented case lost a traveler over $160 after the operator (run from behind a laundromat) claimed no reservation existed. Many local agencies also enforce strict no-refund cancellation policies that travelers do not read.
