Thanks for the suggestion Cesar but it is not Monstera. I have one in my house too and thought it was that but their natural distribution is in southern Mexico to Colombia, so this is way out of it's range. It was not near any cultivated gardens, so I don't think it's an escapee. I really think it's some species of Philodendron.
