| Virtually all of the water systems in the Northern Andes rely on the paramo as a source, and regulator, of water. |
| It was not strange, then, that they should give exaggerated accounts of the cold of the paramo or of the suffering it induces. |
| We never made any attempt to enumerate the divers species of palms that were ever in view from the paramo to the ocean. |
| The team trekked over 96 km and ascended a total of 3, 000m through rainforest, cloud forest and paramo. |
| And we've had many different meetings that have focused on different aspects of the paramo. |
| Between Cotopaxi and Sincholagua are numerous conical hills covering the paramo, reminding one of the mud volcanoes of Jorullo. |
