Haha, yeah, we had a little bit of fun. I don't usually use google maps, as I noticed I don't pay attention to the surroundings anymore, which I don't like. So, lesson learned. :D

Yeah, Mocanita is still used to get wood from the forest back down into the village. And yes, I asked some people if it's possible to get a special permit and they said you can rent the whole train for photo tours and do whatever you want. They were a bunch of photographers and paid the equivalent of $500 for a day. It's a lot, but if there's enough of them, the price per person might be worth it.

And about tourists, well... I was also one of them. :)
