Cañón del Colca | Epiphytes

WI_pe101_423.jpg

The epiphytes hanging down from the branches of this tree are possibly no lichens, but bromeliads of the genus Tillandsia, using the high humidity near the canyon bottom to extract moisture from the air. Location: along the trail between San Juan de Chuccho and Cosñirhua.
