MartaLgoa, I've added the latin and common names for your spotting and a reference link. If you have any more questions, just let me know. Welcome to Project Noah.

Do you know if can I save the foto without the name, please?

Good night! This is my second day exploring the Noah project. Thank you for the help. In Monteverde - Costa Rica, on a night trip, the guide said that is an Orchedea... I´m learning.

This is not an orchid. I believe its a type of pepper plant, Piper sp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_(genus) check out my spotting to compare http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6065407
