Is that a Podocarpus?

We traveled from Cuenca south to Vilcabamba and hiked in Podocarpus Nature Reserve. The Podocarpus is the only pine species native to Ecuador.
Up close it looks like a cross between a cactus and pine tree.
We stayed in a rustic cabin on the river and saw fireflies, vibrant butterflies, tons of bromeliads, colorful humming birds and flowers. One interesting specie of bird called the Hornero (oven bird), a rust colored woodpecker-like bird that builds a new nest each year from mud in the shape of a clay oven.
