Quebrada Los Sosa | Yungas

WI_ar303.jpg

The yungas are a certain type of mountain rain and cloud forests. They can be found in those areas where humid air brought by the tradewinds meets the E slopes of the Andes of Bolivia and NW Argentina. The yungas are built up by the Mexican alder (Alnus acuminata) and other tree species, and are rich in epiphytes.
