Base fare $289, taxes, fees and charges $60.51, total $349.51!
Edit; the fees include a tourist fee of about $28, presumably federal

stream they had enjoyed or depended on. |
This will probably come as a surprise to you, David, but the amount of foreigners that are camping outside of an accommodation (which will probably be
expected to collect it, too) is probably too small for the state to care about.
I would be surprised if it was more than 1-2% of all foreign visitors.

You are probably right... Except in the winter when half of Canada moves to Concepción Bay!

Foreign tourists in Mexico are rich relative to Mexicans. This tax on the rich is great idea, it is a semi-progressive tax of the wealthy. I
approve, and only request that they increase the tax rate 
Woke!
