Currently I am on a trip in South America Colombia and I took these set of pics recently. The place I took the pics in is at 3300-3600m altitude, temps of 65F in the day and nights of 40F. A perfect place to introduce Nepenthes!!!!

I have taken well over 500 pictures and will post most of them eventually.

Wow!
That's awesome!
Aren't leaf cutter ants the coolest things...

Have you seen any musa (bananas) there?

Thanks for the comments everyone!! This is plant land, many of the plants here are desired by many of us in the northern hemisphere.
I will try to post more pictures today.

Yes banana, I am using spanish and it is a wonderful place to visit, I can't wait to come back here for 2013.
