Camp 1 to Camp 2, trail to Cerro Kamuk, Parque Internacional,
Proc. Puntarenas, Costa Rica
Dec. 17 It started raining as we left camp this morning around
08:00. We hiked about an hour uphill from Camp 1 and arrived
in an apparently isolated patch of [illegible] There were lots
of ferns, some Bromeliads and many kinds of moss covering
everything. We spent ~1 hr searching in moss, and I opened 5
Bromeliads. Cachi found a brown Bolitoglossa under a clump
of moss (9.19063°N, 83.05569°W [WGS84], 9 mocc.), 2930m elev.).
It had a dark venter with some lighter blotches, and he said
it looked like B. robinsonii and a Bolitoglossa from Cerro Fabrega
in Panama. We dropped back down into oak forest and then
through a burned area, up through more forest and over the
top of Cerro Nari (3080m elev.), where the vegetation had
burned some time ago. We hiked down a steep slope through
messy oak forest and Chusquea to a flat area (~1 hr hike)
where we stayed at Camp 2 (“La Falaria”). Unfortunately, the
camp is surrounded by a bamboo thicket that doesn't seem like
good amphibian habitat. We searched from 20:00-21:00
and I continued until 21:45, but we heard only 2-3 frogs
and saw nothing. I saw tons of tapir prints today, and
we saw some old jaguar scat. It cleared up around
13:00, but then became drizzly or misty again and stayed
that way.
