And here we all are at our home base at our hotel in Bogota! The six of us from the US are here, as well as Joel Castro from UNAM-Ensenada (Mexico). We started going over the maps and talking about possible areas to observe from.
NB: I observed in 2008 from the telescopes run from UNAM-Ensenada. The mountain ridge where the telescopes are is also home to dozens of California Condors -- turns out the San Diego Zoo has a major breeding program there.
