I appreciate the daily posts as I will probably never get there in my lifetime. Unfortunately, I observe the stars from light polluted Massachusetts but……at least I get to observe the universe once in a while with my little Dobsonian, which is pretty cool when you think about it. 🙂

Once you get to Ecuador you can actually find trees even in high attitudes.

I’m not quite sure how far south you really are but for the most of the Andes – you cross them and once you get to the Eastern slopes you get into deep bush and then deep jungle at attitudes around 2000 – 3000m. I have never been down in Argentina – Patagonia so I don’t know how it is far south down there.

Crossing the Andes is quite impressive experiencing how different the landscape can be with partially just 50km air difference.
