Day 7: Mombacho Volcano Cloud Forrest

 


With 1,344 meters height, it is only 6 miles from Granada(oldest city in the Western Hemisphere). It is one of the very few tropical cloud forest or foggy woods in the flatlands on the Nicaraguan Pacific. It has a biological station and a visitors center(where i finally got to buy cough drops, blueberry flavor)with guides and biologist available. During our tour, I was able to snap sooo many great shots of several of the orchid species, some of which can only survive if they are in the Mombacho Cloud Forrest. Also they have their very own species of salamander, again it can only be found in the cloud forrest.
