Raito, Dean 2007 Journal Chilasco, Depto. Baja Verapaz, Guatemala Aug. 22 We drove to El Salto de Chilasco in the morning and walked on the trail to the falls. The first part goes through crops and scrubby secondary forest but after 2km it gets into nice primary, cloud forest. We walked down to the first viewpoint for the falls and opened some bromeliads on the way, but most of them were extremely high in the big trees. We went back to the secondary forest and opened all the bromeliads we could see. Carlos finally got a huge female B. lehmiicki in a big bromeliad. We searched from 10:30- 14:30 in all, cl also got a M. moreleti under a log and 2 Sidera in bromeliads. We then drove to the town of Chilasco and asked where people had recently cut wood, hoping to find a spot to look for B. meliana. We found a local man who took us to Finca Basta, where they had recently cut wood. The manager, Oscar Baildes (sp?), was very nice and gave us permission to work anywhere on the finca, but it turned out that the areas with lots of fanned wood were ~1.5 hrs away by foot. We searched in some logs on the edge of the road from ~16:45-17:45 with the local man. Carlos got a M. moreleti and cl got a B. lehmiicki in a big rotten log. We spent the rest of the evening preparing specimens.
