A unique type of bromeliad. It's normally found in the rain forest, but has adapted to the harsh mountain climate.			An "iso" plant. It is used by the local indians to make tea for treating coughs.
This shows the trail from the start of our hike. We began at the small white building located on the right side of the picture.	At times, the trail was very overgrown...		Looking down toward the lake and its two islands that were formed when the crater of the volcano collapsed. The water now occupies what used to be the crater, and was deposited there by glaciers.
Some of the many mountain flowers that we saw today.	This gives a good view of the islands.	Our new birdwatchers!	Success! Henry used a recorded call of a Scarlet Breasted Mountain Tanager to attract this beautiful bird.
