Club Moss At Cerro de la Muerte - a photo on Flickriver

            I spent a couple of hours at the top of Cerro de la Muerte (Mountain of Death) at a height of 11,322 feet above sea level.  The “paramo” was unlike any other habitat that I experienced while in Costa Rica. Temperatures often drop below freezing at night and it is more often than not windy and misty.  No trees grow at this height. The landscape consists of short shrubs, dwarf bamboo, and numerous herbs.  As one would guess the plants and animals are unique and are found no where else except at the extreme tips of the highest mountains in Central America. I found Cerro de la Muerte very interesting and well worth the visit. Cub Moss (Phlegmariurus sp.)
