Giant leaves in the cloud forest

At the La Paz Waterfall Gardens it is possible to look down on the cloud forest as it plunges into the ravine through which the river and waterfalls slice through the jungle.

This is similar to the views of the cloud forest available from canopy walks in places like Monteverde.

A couple of weeks ago I showed a photo of the giant leaves of the elephant's umbrella plant.  This photo shows how the plant is well adapted to compete for the rain and sunshine with the blanket of other jungle plants that cover the forest floor.

This week we are showing photos of the people of Ethiopia on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.
