In this February 28, 2015 photo, a patrol of elite DIRANDRO counternarcotics police walks through a puna or highland plane in Husnay, Peru, after an unsuccessful mission to try to arrest drug-toting backpackers coming from the world's No. 1 cocaine-producing region. Its commander, Maj. Juan Tardio, said the unit spotted 15 backpackers less then a mile away early that morning but the smugglers were too far away to capture. His patrol had good intelligence, he said, but chose the wrong path of three options. (Photo by Rodrigo Abd/AP Photo)
