Red Tape
This was a big ordeal, but in short, it took two painful days to obtain permits for the National Park because the rangers were either incompetent or unwilling to help gringos. Our hostel owner went down to help us talk it out, and we finally got permits to hike the next day. This photo is the third time we traveled the 3k to the ranger station to get things sorted out, waiting for it to open. On the up, we met a small local kid with some pretty cool sunglasses.
