Also known as the Boliviano-Tucumano Forest, the Southern Yungas ecological region is the subtropical counterpart of the Northern Yungas on the east slope of the southern Andes with moderate seasonality in rainfall. This region is patchy in distribution, and the most humid areas are on the east-facing slopes and ridges, mostly above 1,200 m.
