Day Eleven: June 15th 2015

posted on junio 15, 2015 10:24

A brief downpour in the mid-afternoon is the first serious rain of the trip. The clouds and mist provided a spellbinding experience in the picturesque montane cloud forests between 2,000 and 2,450 meters above sea level. These forests will be visited more intensively next year. Meanwhile, two new marsupials are registered: the thick-tailed opossum (Lutreolina crassicaudata) signifying a 1,000 meter altitudinal increase for this species in Bolivia, and the brown-eared woolly opossum (Caluromys lanatus) signifying a 500 meter altitudinal record for Bolivia. The botanists register an Odontorhynchus orchid species for the first time in the park.
