    You'll come across a wide variety of creatures as you stroll through the rainforest. Look out for sloths, toucans, howler monkeys, and a variety of reptiles. The park's lovely ambiance is further enhanced by the rich foliage and varied flora. Your knowledge and admiration of this remarkable natural wonder will be enhanced by the guides' frequently fascinating observations about the surrounding environment (Rio Celeste Aventuras).

We birded the grounds before and after breakfast of our lodge: Sueños del Bosque [above].   Later we drove down further in the valley for some river side birding – basically at the limits of the Quetzal NP. The Resplendent Quetzal is a big target, not only for birders but for everyone, it seems who is a tourist visiting Costa Rica. March is the beginning of the breeding season for this spectacular bird and every tour company knows it!   We saw at least five or six individuals throughout the day – some testimony to how common they are in this valley.
