San Juan Chxcuy; Sierra de los Cuchumatanes, Depto. Huehuetenango, Guatemala
We left San Cristobal around 11AM and drove to San Juan Chxcuy in the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes. We got rooms at the Hotel Capitán and went to the B. cuchumatanae type locality south of town. On the way, we talked to some people from the town and from Todos Santos Cuchumatán and they seemed quite familiar with B. lincolnii. We searched along the roadcut and in the forest at night and got 9 B. rastrotae and 1 B. locuruti, but no Pandarctis. We then drove ~2km toward town and searched the roadbank for ~15 min. Gustavo found a B. hartwegi and we got another B. locuruti. We then headed back to town. The weather was perfect for salamanders - light rain and mist.

Our guide was supposed to go back to town for church, but he liked being out so he stayed with us. We drove a little back toward town to a fairly decent oak forest - ragged, but still some big, mossy trees - and searched for Pandarctis from 09:30-11:30 by pulling moss and bark off trees and looking in stumps. We found only
