Paradise, part 1 of 6

A while ago the Tumbes crew met up and went on an awesome day hike to a little known laguna called Pozo Azul.  This is their story....

They started up the day taking a bus into the wild.  No road was needed as they trundled through streams, into the bush.  The bus was blasting cumbia, everyone was bouncing up and down over the rocks and generally in good spirits.

After an hours bus ride we could go no further and set out on foot.  It was a beautiful day, and for the first time in a while, we were surrounded by green.  It was a completely different world in comparison to the drab landscape of the coast.  It was a three hour hike but I enjoyed every second of it.  Our rations consisted of bread, mangoes, crackers, apples, and cheese.   We should have brought more...

And so it was, after we had dropped our bags and put on our swimming / jurassic park trekking gear, we found ourselves hiking through the ravine.
