Bosque Estatal Toro Negro — Attraction in Ponce

The forest was great and the view was espectacular, The problem was the owner of the food kiosks We arrived at the place going to the bathroom and noticed a sign that you have to pay fifty cents. My boyfriend expressed himself with me when we where walking away from the bathroom area. A group of 3 woman told us that is not necessary to paid that you could use it.
