The quetzal, like other birds, has specific habits, with its peak activity starting at dawn and ending around 9 a.m. To observe this beautiful bird, we visit the private Ranchitos del Quetzal Reserve and the Mario Dari Rivera Biotopo del Quetzal. We depart from Cobán at 5 a.m., arriving at Ranchitos del Quetzal at 6 a.m. Afterward, we head to the Biotopo del Quetzal, finishing the tour by 11 a.m. The tour includes round-trip transportation from your hotel in Cobán, a bird species checklist, binoculars, entry to both sites, and a guide. A minimum of two people is required for group tours.
