Sampling was conducted in an area of0,1 ha, collecting all vascular epiphytes distributed in phorophytes with a DAP> 2,5 cm, in four sectors. Collections were performed in the Silencio sectors (PNNP), Tuis Tuis, Tuis Tuis Arriba and Alto Chibogadó (buffer zone) of the tropical rain forest (Bh -T) in Tierralta town. 2504 individuals were recorded as vascular epiphytes.
