    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).

TO THE PELICAN LODGE

  We spent the early part of the morning birding around the grounds of our lodge, before heading up the mountain to Providencia Road within Quetzals National Park. Then we will be headed south down the Panamerican Road #2 and stopped at the summit of the mountain to look for some of the special Paramo species such as Volcano Junco and Timberline Wren. We returned to the restaurant at the highlands before continuing with our drive in the Valley of San Isidro. We arrived at the  El Pelicano Lodge    in the late afternoon where we immediately started scoring new species.
