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.
