We went to a small creek on Rio Java trail, collected more small invertebrates. I've never been much of a bug person so I'm grossed out by their presence however this was a good thing for our project- we have a proper collection of specimens to include in our data analysis. Also meets the river has an abundance of biodiversity and is a very active area for the insects and plants to thrive in.
After we got what we needed to get done, we walked to the observation tower - this tower is a short walk up with a couple of flights of stairs and once at the top you get a view of the entire Las Cruces Biological Station, botanical garden and the town of San Vito. It had just drizzled with rain in the afternoon and there was more clouds cover that was beginning to blanket over the ridge so we captured a few pictures.
Later in the night, our guests from the Panama tribe performed a traditional dance for the group and it was very entertaining to join in.
Honestly the best part of this CRIRE experience, I believe is to see all Indigenous people come together and share a part of their culture!!
