Just returned to La Selva from an adventure in the cloud forest of Monte Verde- & I am tired! ~ a 5 hr bus ride from here & 3 days strait in the field, with much up, down & over hiking & trail blazing. I have a ever deepening respect for a well wielded machete! Made some new friends (a couple of them park employees with afore mentioned machetes). We are starting some work for/ with the Tropical Science Center so collected soil samples from another (besides here at La Selva) tropical wet forest & also tropical dry forest at a lower elevation. Didn't get to see to much animal wildlife, due to the speed of the trailblazing I think. It is such an amazingly beautiful spot, I would love to return & spend some time viewing.
I think that I will continue this story later lest I fall asleep...
Here is a link to the Tropical Science Center's website w/ some info about the cloud forest-
