Summitted Mt Picacho, Panama yesterday, brutal route, no trails so bushwhacking all the way up and down (different route down). Took us 11 hours to go 5 km!
The summit of Picacho at about 9,850' is covered in a thick matt, 6' high, of a terrestrail orchid species which Ive not ID'ed yet (pic attached). Lots of other species in the area too including many micro orchids.
