About this tour

Birdwatching is an outdoor activity that brings you to the heart of nature. Having close contact with the forest, birds, and mammals that live in the highlands of Guatemala is an experience that will make you have full-body goosebumps. Guatemala is a megadiverse country, blessed with an incredible amount of flora, fauna, and microclimates that make it unique in the world. Come join us on this breathtaking tour where you´ll have the opportunity to watch our national bird, El Quetzal. The rain forest is the habitat of this beyond-beautiful bird, but not only that, is the home of dozens of different mesmerizing flowers and animals. If we´re lucky enough, we´ll have the chance to see El Quetzal, a sacred bird since the prehispanic era. You´re just a few clicks away from a real-life fantasy!

Itinerary

We´ll pick you up in your hotel lobby in Cobán and take you to the Quetzal Sanctuary, called Ranchitos del Quetzal. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy the road and the beautiful views.

In this lush cloud forest, the Quetzal isn’t the only resident... Embark on a guided tour through Ranchitos del Quetzal with an expert local birdwatcher, where you’ll journey through the misty woods in search of Guatemala’s national bird, the stunning Quetzal. Along the way, you’ll also encounter a variety of other birds, amphibians, and unique plant species that call this vibrant ecosystem home. Listen to the symphony of nature, marvel at the rich greenery, and with a bit of luck, catch a glimpse of the Quetzal's breathtaking red and green plumage.

During our way back to your hotel, you have the chance to relax and take a nap, or maybe you prefer to take photos of the marvelous landscapes of Las Verapaces... you choose, the time is yours.

The last point in our itinerary is to take you safe and sound in your hotel.
