San Luis Forest
This is the 14 hectare forest that is taking about 210 metric tonnes of CO2 out of the atmosphere every year and giving us oxygen to breath.

Mariano is chopping weeds with his machete in his pastures that border the San Luis Forest.
Dancing Lady orchid
A native orchid that I call the "dancing lady". It can only reproduce in native forests with little human disturbance and sun. It requires a certain type of moss and fungus to germinate.
Queen Achmea
This is a beautiful bromeliad flower. The plant only makes one flower like this in it's lifetime. The the babies that emerge from the mother plants base flower one time and die, as well. It is a constant cycle.
Queen Achmea close up
The Queen Achmea flowering stalk lasts up to two months. Each of these nubs are small flowers that open in a ring around the stalk each day until the stalk has bloomed up to the top. It is also edible.
