We were able to see a great diversity of habitats. Most of our time was spent in the tall forest in the center of the island. But as a quick break, and change of scenery, we were able to take a trip out to the coast. While there we saw bioluminescent algae in the ocean, we were able to do some kayaking, and saw plenty of cool creatures.
The famous and loud Coqui's.
A cool lizard with a ridged tail.
A descent size toad, found in the opening of a cave.
Here is a cavern we went to out in the desert.
This is in a a National Reserve; Los Tres Picachos, the three peaks. This was the third highest peak on the island, and the trail was right across the street from our place of residence.
We went camping on our last weekend. Here is the hammock and tarp camp. It was a cold night, but a great place to be. At night the entire forest floor was lit up with glowing fungi, blue-green mycelium colonizing all the dead leaves, an amazing sight.
Climbing and collecting samples at the top of the tree. I also did some old fashion monkey climbs, but this was a really high one and I was just waiting for a good chance to try out the ropes.
And once up the tree, cutting down some branches.
