The jungle in Costa Rica was something to see for sure, I wish back when I was there I knew more about the plants and trees. I really need to look back and see if I can find some of those pictures, I've looked a few times for them in the past, they must be packed away somewhere. I'm sure I took more tree and plant pictures then I thought

Thanks again for posting them.

Paul,
thanks. I love mesoamerica, with that awesome mix of nearctic and neotropical fauna & flora.
Work-related: what felids are in the area where you go?
Palmy: Chameadorea and Sabal are my favorites. Many of them there? --Erik

that first pic, wow...some type of orchid?

Love that waterfall, almost looks man-made.

And the sloth! I remember reading that needle palm (hope I got that right!) distribution in the U.S.A. should be far further north than it is BECAUSE GROUND-SLOTHS were hunted to extinction in the US. The sloth is responsible for spreading seeds over a wide area.

Near Tambor by any chance?
