Parque National Los Quetzales

The always elusive Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) spends most of his life migrating looking for his favorite meal – wild avocados fruits – among other species. On our highland birding and coffee expedition, we will meet with a local expert who knows when and where the Quetzals are any time of the year. As we explore Los Quetzales National Park – one can see the ways the surrounding villages have respected this magnificent place. Our guides will pick you up from your accommodation at 4:00 am, our first stop will be San Isidro del General (one and half hour drive away) to drink a quick coffee and have a light snack. Our day starts bright and early as the best time to reach Los Quetzales National Park is before 7:00 am. We want you to have the best opportunities to observe and photograph this unique, beautiful bird. Once we had accomplished our mission we will drive or walk back to Mirador los Quetzales Sanctuary for more birding and some hummingbird feeders action.

Amazing trip!!

It was just an amazing experience! We were able to see several quetzals and one flew by in close distance (ca. 2-3meters). To my opinion a must-do when traveling in Costa Rica! Manuel was a great tour guide: very enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, very kind. He even did the tour despite I was the only client. He invited a friend to the tour who hasn’t seen the quetzal before as well. Even if not everything went according to plan (;-) that’s part of the adventure and you can tell your friends abo...read more

Highest point in Costa Rica

Amazing trip with highly knowledgeable and friendly guide, travel 2/11,000 feet above sea level and saw the beautiful Quetzal, the flora was amazing and we were treated to a local coffee which I brought back a couple bags because it was so delicious

Amazing tours and great guides

I did two tours with Manuel:Corcovado Park and Manuel Antonio Reserve. They were both great experiences. We saw many animals, the guides were very nice and most importantly very good at spotting wild life. I would really recommend this company

Great Visit to Los Quetzalas with Oscar

We recently returned from a visit to Costa Rica. On the way from San Jose to Corcovado we arranged an overnight trip to Los Quetzlas through Manuel. We stayed at Mirador des Quetzalas (separate review) and spent the morning touring and finding Qutzals with Oscar (manuel's guide) and Jason (guide from Mirador). Manuel handled all of the arrangements and transfers. Mirador was a basic but very nice lodge and Los Quetzalas is THE place to spot the Quetzal. We were quite lucky to observe a lar...read more

Driver did not show up

We were waiting at the pickiup location for a 4:00am pickup. The driver never showed up. Viator had no information about the failure. But Viator was very courteous and efficient with the refund. Still, we were very disappointed.
