| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
From a small village called Cerro Punta in the Chiriqui highlands one can do a wonderful hike along the "Sendero de los Quetzales" to Boquete. It is really special as in that forest one can indeed spot Quetzales the national bird of Guatemala, which can hardly be seen in Guatemala itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quetzales
I saw two of these most elusive birds but it was so hard to photograph them that I decided to take a picture of the colibris (humingbirds). They are not as shy and you can go as close as one meter.
I hope you like the picture. |
