Costa Rica Mysteries Part 2

Deep in the Rainforests and Cloud Forests
of Costa Rica, lurk hidden mysteries, strange creatures and
wonders of nature, never before seen.

"Walking" Palms

There is a farm near the tropical wet forest of the Caribbean slope, close to the ocean, with a high temperature and humid weather, a tropical rainforest.

I used to walk with my friend in the forest, between small,
shade loving Bactris, Chamadoreas and Geonomas, and the enormous Socrateas and Iriarteas, with their stilt roots that resembled the "several legs" of a walking monster palm tree.

And, you may see these walking palms. These trees have
roots, that begin about chest high. These trees, actually
lean as their roots grow, giving the impression, that these mammoth trees, are walking on stilts.

The mysterious, but majestic presence, of the Welfias, with
their rakis covered by fruits, made them look like the hair
of a bronzy giant.

The rainforest is a secret cathedral... hiding all sorts of
magical mysteries. Many of these unusual human like palms, are no longer there. They have died, due to cutting down
of the rainforests.

Some of them were taken for their hearts, (palmito), a
delicacy in cuisine, and some of them died because they
are shade adapted and the huge trees, that act as their "sunroof" were logged, for their precious wood, sending the shade loving palms to a slow death.
