This stormy night was recorded in the national park of the Coroca region (Colombia), and more precisely in an isolated valley, adjacent to the famous Cocora valley (very touristy). After hours of winding tracks under the storm, we established a bivouac, alone in the middle of the montane tropical forest. This forest is very atypical, because we are here at 3000m above sea level. The vegetation is very strange, like these giant palm trees, called wax palm (Ceroxylon quindiuense).

This night was recorded in the middle of the tropical rainforest, in the reserve and biological station of “Jatun Sacha” in Amazonia, Ecuador.

The recording starts at the end of the afternoon, with a chorus of birds and insects. We hear the birds playing in the branches of the trees.
Then the crickets rise in intensity, at the same time as the strange call of an exotic bird. Some hypnotic sounds announce the sunset and the begin of the night.
Gently the wind rises as darkness sets in.
The amphibians start singing, their calls resonant and bouncing back into the night.
Then towards the end of the night a little tropical rain gently punctuates the song of frogs.

This night was recorded in the middle of the montane tropical forest, inside the “Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta” in north Colombia

The recording begins in the late afternoon, on a background of cicadas, some amphibians, then a “crested oropendula”, a beautiful bird with yellow tail, already met in Guatemala, who falls backwards to release his very particular sound. 
Parakeets in flight. Cracking branches announce the arrival of howler monkeys for a series of powerful vocalisations. 

The night settles and the cicadas sound louder and louder, then calm down. Birds occupy the space of the night with strange calls. 

This night was recorded in the middle of the Guatemala rainforest, inside the “Reserva Biosfera Maya” near the mayan ruins and village of Uaxactun.

The night begin with insects, cicada, birds.

Then the howler monkeys start their strange call in the middle of the night.

Just before sunrise we can discern the calls of the roosters from the distant village below the ruins.
