This trip, which was conducted over the course of five weeks in January and February 2022, was the first official expedition of the Ferns of Colombia project. Our focus was the Cordillera Occidental of the Andes, in the departments of Antioquia, Chocó, Risaralda, and Valle del Cauca, at elevations ranging from 1200-3000 meters. We focused our efforts at Serranía de los Paraguas (Chocó & Valle del Cauca), Parque Nacional Natural Tatamá (two sites: Planes de San Rafael and Cerro Montezuma, both in Risaralda), and Peque (Antioquia).
