- Ranchitos del Quetzal - The journey to Ranchitos del Quetzal (a sanctuary dedicated to the conservation of El Quetzal) will take approximately 4 hours.\n\nEl Quetzal has long been a significant bird for the Mayan people, symbolizing the deity “Quetzalcoatl,” the feathered serpent. Historically, only Mayan royalty adorned themselves with Quetzal feathers in their crowns as a sign of their divine connection.\n\nIn 1871, El Quetzal was officially recognized as the national bird of Guatemala, and its imagery is present in the country’s flag, emblem, and even its currency, which is named in honor of the bird.\n\nThe rainforest serves as the natural dwelling for this magnificent avian. Spotting it can be challenging, but the odds improve from March to July, the breeding season. Join us to gain insights from specialists about this captivating bird and possibly observe it in its natural setting during birdwatching excursions. *Please note that we will be entering the bird’s wild and free habitat. Sightings are subject to the whims of nature and cannot be guaranteed.
