Enero - Febrero 2012 sitio 72

Coroico valley, Yungas, elev.
1700 m.
Grass plains on the north side of
the mountain Uchumachi (2698m.), one can easily
walk to the hotel Esmeralda (1820 m) of the Inca
trails that go to the Cascades de San Juan
(1910m.), the trip takes 2 hours of time when you
pass through several small ravines. On the
grassfield (Punaen), few species butterflies that
can handle the sun at midday. Once you reach the
small ravines are immediately more species
butterflies. Below the ravines of San Juan in
between Cruz Lomas (1725m.) and San Feliz
(1732m.) against Carapata are several ravines
there is room to visit. One can also from the
plaza in Coroico take a taxi to Rio Vagantes
(1130m.) Where on the sandy banks along the river
can be seen more exciting butterflies species.
Similar ravine sites exist in Yolosa and Puente
de Tocana.

Coroico dalen, Yungas, elev.
1700 m.
Græsskråningen på
nordsiden af bjerget Uchumachi (2698m.) kan man
nemt gå til fra hotel Esmeralda (1820 m.) af
inca stier der går til Cascades de San Juan
(1910m.) turen tager 2 timers tid hvor man kommer
igennem flere små raviner. På græsskråningen
(Punaen) er der få arter dagsommerfugle der kan
klare middagsheden. Så snart man når til de
små raviner er der straks flere arter
dagsommerfugle. Neden for vandfaldene ved San
Juan i mellem Cruz Lomas (1725m.) og San Feliz
(1732m.) mod Carapata er der flere raviner der er
vær at besøge. Man kan også fra Plazaen i
Coroico tage en taxa til Rio Vagantes (1130m.)
Hvor på sandbanker langs vandløbet kan ses
flere spændende dagsommerfugle arter. Lignende
ravine lokaliteter findes der i Yolosa og Puente
de Tocana.

valley to Yolosa d. 18/19 january 2012. Photographer; Lars Andersen There are about 10 species of the
genus Numberwings, Callicore in Bolivia, all of which bear
distinctive and graphic patterns on the underside
hindwings, often resembling numbers or letters of
the alfabet. The uppersides of al species are
black and red/orange bands, some of then with
reflective briliant blue sheen. The Zigzag Numberwing distribution; Bolivia, Brazil,
Paraguay and Argentina. I know it from Coroico
valley where it is local and hard to find. Zigzag Numberwing are shy and difficult to get

| Undulata
Satyr, Paryphthimoides
undulata (A.

butterflies in the Andes eastern slopes from 1000
meters up to 2000 meters. Found on grass land in
Brazil-Argentina-Paraguay and Bolivia. |
 
| Typhla
Satyr, Oressinoma
typhla (Doubleday,
1849) breeds
in pre-montane rainforest and cloudforest
habitats on both sides of the Andes at elevations
of between about 900 to 2000 metres. The are two
similar species in Oressinoma; typhla above, which is found
from Costa Rica to Bolivia, and sorata above right. |
Sorata
Satyr, Oressinoma
sorata (Salvin
& Godman, 1868) is local widespread in Yungas,
which seems near streams in forested mountain
slopes, or in swampy areas where larvae host
plant grows; Sedges, Cyperaceae species call Nutgrass. Males acting
individually a 2 to 3. along streams and trails,
flying in misty and cloudy weather, go to rest
when the sun is too strong. Its habitats in
Bolivia are about. 900-2200 meters. The spread is
limited to southern Peru and Yungas in Bolivia. |

Fra Coroico kan man køre
videre igennem Coroico dalen mod nord til Caranavi, Guarnay eller Rurrenabaque som
er porten til Amazonas store flodsystem. Fra
Rurrenabaque kan man tage på ture til junglen i
nærheden "Madidi Nationalpark" eller
Pampas/Jungle savannaen øst for byen som er de
mest kendte udflugtsmål. Mod Mod vest kan man
komme til Suapi og Santa Rosa de Quilo Quilo. Mod
syd kører man fra Yolosita til La Paz af en ny
motorvej som åbnede i slutningen af 2006, og den
gamle Yungas Road anvendes nu primært til
cyklister på mtb downhill. Denne bjergtur på
mtb som starter oppe fra Cumbre i 4650 m.h. Og ender i Yolosa i
1190 m.h. kaldes også "the Death
Road". Langs med vejen i 2600 m.h. Ligger de
kendte vandfald Cascades
de Sacramento Alto
og nogle andre spændende raviner hvor jeg flere
gange har fotograferet sommerfugle.
