Scientists saw this frog in exactly one place, between 2500 and 2577 meters above sea level in the Cordillera Oriental. They saw the frog in a cloud forest in the mountains.

Scientists saw the frog in a protected park: Las Nubes Private Natural Reserve.

Young
This frog is awake during the day when it is warm. The male frog chooses a good place, about 1-4 m away from other males. He sits in the dead leaves on the ground and calls to the female frogs.
