Quetzal Reserve

Thursday morning we ate a breakfast of cereal and milk in our cabin before heading out for the day.



We visited the Biotopo del Queztal, a preserve for the endangered queztal, Guatemala's national bird. There was a nice gravel path through the rainforest.


We saw some tropical flowers. We saw little wildlife - but lots of mosquitos!


There were two pretty waterfalls. It was a very nice hike.



Then we headed to the small town of Lanquin. We saw some incredibly rugged and beautiful scenery along the way. Mountains covered with tropical vegetation, small wooden huts scattered here and there. We decided this is one of the prettiest areas of Guatemala we've seen.
