Mombacho Salamander (Bolitoglossa mombachoensis)

Mombacho is a protected mountain top cloud forest near Granada, Nicaragua.

2009-02-16: After a day spent in Granada, we headed to a nearby volcano for an afternoon of walking on the cloud forest trails, a night safari, and a night in the mountain retreat. The next morning, we planned a hike but ended up canceling due to wind and fog.
