Bauhinia guianensis
Very long slender wavy vine? Hanging from a tree. At least 30' long. Quite a few pieces of various length spotted but I could not see anything with leaf on that I could associate it with.
Tree along the forest track
Very cool shape. I would have loved to bring it back to the house with me

Thanks Leuba ... I don't recall seeing the flower on a plant but will keep a look out for it now I've seen the vine. Might get a crick in my neck looking. It's a fantastic shape.

Intriguing ! Looks like Monkey Ladder Liana (Bauhinia liana). I am no expert but will try to get a reference. Thereare some photos of a similar-looking vine on the Net. Nice find Viv.
