Above: View from the southern bank of the Rio Santiago up to the Andean foothills. The foothills are partially covered by low-hanging clouds, in contrast to the lowland hill in the foreground. The altitude of the latter is c. 150 m, whereas those of visible peaks in the foothills are c. 300 m (second hill chain) and 500 m (third hill chain; hardly visible). Each hill chain may represent a different life zone sensu Holdridge (1967); see text for details. (Playa

Below: In the Andean foothills the river is cutting increasingly deep into the landscape and breaking frequently into rapids. The area is covered by primary forest, presumably belonging to the wet premontane forest life zone (upper Rio Santiago valley, elev. c. 100 m, 21 Jun. 97). 25.
