Rain forest via aerial tram

These pictures are from a trip to a part of the rain forest of Braulio Carrillo Park. We were able to ride through the jungle canopy on an aerial tram system, hanging in little six person metal cars. The trees were covered with epiphytes and parasites that extended the growing area far above the jungle floor. (Some of what was growing at ground level is shown in photos 18 through 23.)
