My credit card company had canceled the transaction because it looked suspicious. I didn&#8217;t catch the notification. I was sent tickets, but they were only reservations for the tickets, not the tickets themselves. This was a very stressful realization. There were a lot of guides trying to get business, I approached one of them and explained my dilemma. He led me to a building where you can buy same-day tickets if there are any left. We got super lucky and got tickets. I hadn&#8217;t planned on hiring a guide but felt obliged because he helped.

By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley.
