Cloud Forest!

Hairless cow? 

me: "Hairy Nipple"
kyle: "Jessica, I don't think thats a nipple"

Sweet little stray puppy that decided to join us on our hike 


Tree Fern, prehistoric plant. It is really cool because once the fern leaves become too heavy, the break down towards the drunk and die. Those are the brown root-like structures surrounding the base of the tree. However, being a tree it continues to grow up therefore when the leaves break down and die, more sprout out from the top. Circle of life. They look like cartoon tree's from a nintendo game or something. 



this was a huge catipliller, our profesora told us to be careful because it was most likely poisonous 

Learning about plants. This dude was a professor from ULA , the huge University in Merida.

This picture captures it pretty well, but there were about 8 different vines that you could swing on or climb on. Hurt the shit out of my hands. I sort of hated it but regardless it was cool.

Swimming hole. I didn't get in. I figured that my body would hate the cold considering it was just recovering from the black plague and parasite infestation. Luckily I'm feeling healthy still. 


Hydrating

Contemplating cold water.
