Hankar, James 1975 Journal Panama - Boquete area Hotel Fundadores, elev. 1100m, Boquete, Chiriqui Province, Panama 10 August located 6-7 km NW of the center of Boquete. William A. at the point when the road from Boquete crosses the Quebrado El Oso the road was no longer passable for our Volkswagen (but would have been no trouble for a 4-wheel drive vehicle). We returned to the river crossing and then hiked up a path NW up the river bed and vertically up the NE canyon wall until we reached the ridge, about above the canyon. The relatively level area between the ridge at this point and the road to the E is mostly cleared for coffee fields or other agriculture, but the steep canyon slopes were apparently virgin rain forest as far up the canyon as we could see. The steep canyon walls and deep canyon itself was very striking and beautiful. We looked for salamanders under suitable cover objects on the slopes, in the coffee fields, and also in dense secondary growth areas adjacent to the fields, but none were found. Jim Lynch did find a Rhadinea sp. inside a decaying log at the edge between a corn field and coffee field along the ridge above the canyon, elevation 1744m.
