Drone video of Frailejones on the Paramo de Oceta, Colombia

My drone video of Espletia species on the Paramo de Oceta, Colombia. Yes I know that Espeletia are not technically palms but they are interesting plants with a somewhat similar look to them.

Species in the video:

Espeletia incarna (Frailejon Blanco)
Espeletia lopezzi
Espeletia argentea (Frailejon Plateada)

Incorporating music into a video can enhance or detract from the content...."Stairway to Heaven" increased sensory input.  This flight along the canyon wall to include the waterfall clip is well done.  Your tilting and panning is very smooth.  I'm a big fan of your editing skills.  Good job.

I love your videos but can't get the Odysee player to work, do you have a YouTube link for this video?

I put a shorter 4 minute version on youtube here (it is more of a preview and doesn't show the names of the different Espeletia species), its designed for a different audience with a shorter attention span.

Thank you! It took me a while to get the clips lined up with the rhythm of the music, by the end I was actually pretty tired of hearing the song

Very nice!

Here's a little video I made of another Paramo I visited on the same trip. With a different type of Espeletia, with very long trunks and a very "palmy" look from a distance called Espeletia curialensis:
