A Mexican Liana, typical of the tropical forests in Chiapas. This is old enough to have the thickness of the smaller trees and a height clear up to the canopy. Also old enough to have lichens on its bark. Rooted in the soil and climbing a tree to reach the canopy. See the wonderful notes of Neil Ross on his Australian Liana. (https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/13...). Without a doubt, they are wonderful highways to the roof of the forest for everything from insects to frogs, lizards, snakes and small mammals.
Tropical Forest of the Chiflón Waterfall Park, Chiapas, Mexico. About 656 meters. The forest is almost always green and tropical within the steep river gorges that characterize the drop from the highlands in this area. Outside of the gorges, the countryside is drier and unfortunately heavily cut for crops, towns and grazing. Blow up the Google map to see the difference in the gorge and non-gorge vegetation.
