Wow, Dave! Sounds like an amazing trip! Do you have any records of other wildlife you saw there? Mammals/herps/crazy insects?
Hi Alex,
There doesn't seem to be a lot of mammals in that area, although we did see Cotton-top Tamarin monkeys in Tayrona National Park, Red-tailed Squirrels were common almost everywhere, we got a glimpse of an armadillo, and we heard Red Howler Monkeys.
At night, hundreds of moths were attracted to the lights of the lodge and they covered the windows of the dining area. I don't know anything about moths, but the numbers, varieties, sizes, and colors were amazing. We joked that there were probably many undescribed species there (which is probably the case).
Not many herps either. I think I only saw two skinks and one large iguana in lowland mangroves.
